Conduction

Battery cabinet conduction sensitivity test

Without running extensive discharge tests, conductance can be used to rapidly and safely determine a functional battery's state-of-health. This technology isn't new, but you may not be familiar with it. Mine happens to be the Midtronics PBT-300 (Figure 2). It costs. . tring with comparatively higher conduc-tance readin has been identified with a lower conductance reading). What is a battery conductance test? A battery conductance tester sends a small AC current pulse into the battery and monitors for a small AC voltage response. Extensive field test results were presented to Bellcore's T1Y1 Group, a Bellcore symposium on passive battery monitoring and testing, the International Lead Zinc Research. . Battery conductance is a rapid and repeatable electrical measurement that determines the ability of a battery to transmit current readily through its internal electro-chemical structure. It provides a direct relationship to battery power parameters.
