Pulse Load Lead Acid Battery Tester. Model number MBT-LA2.
The MBT-LA2 provides a comprehensive means of testing the state of charge and
battery condition for 2-volt, 4-volt, 6-volt, 8-volt, and 12-volt lead acid
battery types (SLA, AGM, Gel, Wet). Lightweight, compact design make it an ideal
tool for anyone working with lead acid batteries. This microprocessor-controlled
instrument tests popular batteries using a patented, high accuracy pulse load
test. After a fully automatic test cycle, percentage of remaining battery
capacity is indicated on the LED bar display. Test results are easy to
understand. An integrated cooling fan dissipates heat from testing, and the
circuit is protected against over-voltage. Rugged NBR rubber sleeve protects
against impact. Includes 48” removable test leads with solid copper clamps. The
accessory kit (K-MBTLA2) is included with the tester, and features a hanging
strap for hands-free operation, and a protective soft case. Requires 4AA
batteries (not included).
- Computes State of Charge for lead acid battery types (SLA, AGM, Gel,
Flooded).
- Test battery condition - quickly and easily identifies weak or failing
batteries.
- Patented high accuracy Pulse Load test - battery safe, non-invasive.
- Test 2-volt, 4-volt, 6-volt, 8-volt, 12-volt.
- Measures battery performance under load, not just voltage or internal
resistance.
- Ideal for battery management and cell matching - reduce costs and
increase reliability.
- Made in U.S.A. Patents 6,823,274 - D611851.
