Indicative Battery Testers

Fast Battery Testing for Onsite Inspections

Valen Indicative Battery Testers provide technicians with a fast and portable method of assessing battery capacity during onsite inspection and maintenance.

Using pulse load testing, an indicative battery tester applies short bursts of current to the battery and analyses the resulting measurements to provide an indication of battery capacity.

This approach is particularly useful where technicians require quick results and a full discharge capacity test would be impractical or unnecessarily time-consuming.

Valen has a range of Load Battery testers. These Load Battery Testers conduct the test utilising a full discharge to the battery, ensuring peace of mind that the battery will hold up in its required application.

What Is an Indicative Battery Tester?

An indicative battery tester is designed to provide a quick assessment of battery condition or capacity without performing a complete discharge test.

Instead of continuously loading the battery until it reaches its specified end voltage, an indicative tester can apply short-duration loads and analyse the battery’s response.

This makes indicative testing useful for routine inspections where technicians need to assess multiple batteries efficiently.

What Is Pulse Load Testing?

Pulse load testing applies short bursts of current to the battery being tested.

The tester measures the battery’s response to these loads and uses its internal testing method to provide an indication of battery capacity.

Because the battery does not need to undergo the extended discharge associated with a full load test, results can be obtained quickly during onsite inspection.

When Is Pulse Load Testing Useful?

Pulse load testing is particularly useful where technicians do not have sufficient time to perform a full battery discharge test or where doing so would be inefficient for routine maintenance.

Applications can include:

Fire systems
Security systems
Door automation
Small UPS systems
Emergency lighting
Communications equipment
IT infrastructure
Routine battery inspections

Indicative testing provides a convenient diagnostic tool where rapid onsite battery assessment is required.

Indicative Battery Testing

Indicative testing uses short-duration loads to provide a rapid assessment of battery capacity or condition.

Key advantages include:

Fast testing
Portable equipment
Convenient onsite use
Minimal testing time
Suitable for routine inspections

Full Load Battery Testing

A full load or constant-current capacity test discharges the battery under controlled conditions to provide a more comprehensive assessment of available capacity.

This method requires more time and appropriate testing equipment but can provide a more definitive capacity measurement.

Indicative testing should therefore be viewed as a rapid assessment method rather than a direct replacement for comprehensive capacity testing where a full discharge test is required.

ACT Indicative Battery Testers

Valen’s current Indicative Battery Tester range includes ACT battery testing equipment designed for quick onsite assessment.

ACT 612 Battery Tester

The ACT 612 provides a portable solution for indicative battery testing across compatible battery applications.

It is suited to technicians who need to perform quick battery assessments during routine inspection and maintenance.

ACT Chrome Battery Tester

The ACT Chrome provides another compact option within Valen’s indicative battery testing range.

Its portable format makes it suited to onsite battery testing where rapid results are required.

Always confirm the tester’s supported battery specifications before testing.

Battery Testers for Preventative Maintenance

Regular battery inspection can help maintenance teams identify batteries requiring further investigation before they are called upon to support a critical load.

Indicative testing can form part of a broader preventative maintenance program by providing technicians with a fast way to assess batteries during scheduled site visits.

Where an indicative result identifies a potential problem, additional testing or further investigation may be appropriate.
