DBA-Pro1 |
The DBA-Pro1 is a lightweight, hand-held
microprocessor-based digital battery analyzer that displays the state of
charge, internal impedance, and cold cranking amperes of a lead acid
battery. It is extremely user-friendly, and is non-detrimental to both the
battery and the analyzer. The DBA-Pro1 utilizes the high frequency impedance
method of testing. The analysis will not be affected by any loads or
chargers that could be connected to the battery while being tested.
Since the most important feature
of an automotive battery is its ability to crank a vehicle, the DBA-Pro1 performs real-time diagnosis of the cranking
capabilities of a battery while in a vehicle
during the actual starting sequence of a vehicle under real load conditions.

The DBA-Pro1 can be used not
only with wet automotive batteries, but also AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) and
standby batteries.

Accurate -
The DBA-Pro1
works on the high frequency impedance principle. Load testers only give
"GOOD", "OK" or "BAD" reading. From the internal impedance and CCA
readings, the EXACT condition of the battery is determined.

It is common knowledge that load tests cannot be performed while the
battery is connected to a backup system or automobile. An AC conductance
tester injects a low level AC signal, and measures the response. However,
the signal response is likely to be distorted by a connected load or
charger. While accurate, the AC conductance test can only be performed on
an offline battery.
-
Safe -
The unit is polarity protected, meaning that connecting the clamps onto
the wrong terminals would not cause any danger to the tester or battery.
Being a passive tester, the DBA-Pro1 is very safe. Load testers at times
generates heat and sparks, and require the battery to be fully charged.
Recharging the battery releases hydrogen to the air and contact between
the sparks and the released hydrogen could be potentially hazardous and
may result in an explosion. Since no heat is generated with the DBA-Pro1,
there is no need to wait for the tester to cool, meaning that more
batteries can be tested in a smaller amount of time.
-
Economic -
Detection of impending failures allows for planned replacements. This
greatly eliminates downtime caused by unexpected battery failures,
translating into handsome financial returns. Besides that, the DBA-Pro1
does not shorten the lifespan of the battery unlike the load tester where
each load test is essentially one battery cycle. Impedance testing is
probably the most cost effective way of monitoring and maintaining a
battery system in a stationary storage system.
