6V & 12V Battery Capacity Analyzer with record storage Model 603B

Product catalog summary
Overview
The B&K Precision Model 603B is a handheld battery capacity analyzer designed for testing 6 and 12 volt sealed lead acid batteries with capacities up to 100 ampere hours (Ah). It provides measurements of voltage, state of charge (SOC), and internal resistance, and includes features such as a USB port and internal memory for storing data for up to 50 batteries.

Applications
This analyzer is ideal for use in systems requiring battery backup, such as intrusion detection, fire alarms, security cameras, access control, and industrial control systems.

Features & Benefits
  • Tests both open and loaded battery voltage.
  • Powered by the battery under test, eliminating the need for a separate power source.
  • Fast test cycle time for efficient battery sorting.
  • Stores measurement data and test configurations internally.
  • Allows pre-loading of up to 50 test configurations via USB.
  • Real-time clock for timestamping measurement records.
  • Export data to CSV for further analysis.
  • User-configurable pass/fail criteria and built-in charger circuit test.
  • Field programmable DC load for testing system output circuits.
  • Closed case calibration and firmware updates via USB.

Operation Highlights
The 603B provides quick measurement results, displaying open battery voltage immediately upon connection. It determines battery voltage under load, SOC, and internal resistance within seconds. The analyzer also includes a charger circuit test for comprehensive battery system evaluation.

Measurement Recording
The device supports periodic testing and record-keeping, storing data for up to 50 batteries. It records details such as test date, time, building name, panel location, and system type. The included software allows pre-configuration of the analyzer, minimizing data entry errors and simplifying data compilation.

Specifications
  • Open voltage range: 5.5 V to 30 V.
  • Battery test range: 6 V (5.5 V to 6.8 V), 12 V (8 V to 14 V).
  • Current range: 1 A to 10 A.
  • Resistance range: 1 mΩ to 100 mΩ.
  • Internal memory for 50 records.
  • Display: 20 x 4 LCD with backlight.
  • Dimensions: 2.91” x 10.44” x 2.28”.
  • Weight: 2.65 lbs (1.2 kg).

Data Sheet Battery Capacity Analyzer with record storage Model 603B Features & benefits The 603B handheld battery capacity analyzer tests 6 and 12 volt sealed lead acid batteries with capacities up to 100 ampere hour (Ah). Test results include voltage, state of charge, and internal resistance. This analyzer also features a built-in USB port and internal memory to store battery information, test configuration, and measurement results for up to 50 batteries. both open and loaded battery voltage by the battery under test (no need to replace battery) n Fast test cycle time for quick sorting of batteries n Measurements n Pre-load are stored to internal memory up to 50 test configurations from the Application Ideal choice for testing sealed lead acid batteries commonly used in intrusion detection, fire alarm, security camera, access control, industrial control and other battery backup systems. configurations include site, panel, battery or edit records using the key pad or remote computer n Real-time clock for date and time stamp of measurement records n Export Fast results Getting battery measurement results fast is critical in the field. Immediately upon connection, the 603B measures and displays open battery voltage. Battery voltage under load, state of charge and internal resistance are determined within seconds, by simply entering the battery ampere hour (Ah) rating. Additionally, the 603B features a charger circuit test for a complete evaluation of the battery system. record data to a CSV file for further analysis configurable Pass/Fail criteria charger circuit test test leads can be changed in seconds programmable DC load for testing system user configurable SOC tables for each voltage case calibration and firmware updates Measurement recording Battery maintenance programs typically include periodic testing and record keeping. The 603B stores battery measurement data to internal memory for up to 50 batteries tracked by serial number. Information like test date, test time, building name, panel location and system type are also recorded. The 603B includes computer software to pre-configure the analyzer before field testing. Once the analyzer is configured, simply select the building record, verify the battery serial number and start the test. This saves time while minimizing data entry errors and simplifies compiling inspection data for an unlimited number of battery records. Technical data subject to change © B&K Precision Corp. 2021
