ImprovImprovinging the accuracy the accuracy
� Correct battery temperature
� Battery quality � Peukert value
EMROL – Your power partner
PeukertPeukert
� Peukert capacity = capacity when dischargedwith one ampere
� Normal value = 1.10 to 1.36
� Ideal value = 1
� High values indicate poor battery quality
� AlfaBat has a function to determine this factor

Charger and cycle testCharger and cycle test
on a batteryon a battery� Select a correct profile
� Adaptor is required
� Connect the charger
� Charger test: result in Ah � Usefull to record acharger’s regime.
� Cycle discharge: result in %
� Cycle charge: Charge factor
EMROL – Your power partner
Charge FactorCharge Factor
� Relation between the discharged capacity andthe charged capacity
� > 1.10 : to compensate charge losses you needto put more energy in a battery then what wasextracted.

Monitor TestMonitor Test
� Online tracking of a test in progress
� Necessary during cycle test (unless printer isused)
� Needed for peukert calculation
� Alternative to cycle test with PC: use of theprinter

Recording data in aRecording data in a
systemsystem� Connect the source/load to the charger port.Make sure the load respects the max current15A or 50A.
� Connect the battery to the battery port
� Start a recording test (use the correct profile)
