ImprovImprovinging the accuracy the accuracy Correct battery temperature

Battery quality Peukert value

EMROL – Your power partner

PeukertPeukert Peukert capacity = capacity when discharged

with 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 test Charger 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 a charger’s regime.

Cycle discharge: result in % Cycle charge: Charge factor

EMROL – Your power partner

Charge FactorCharge Factor Relation between the discharged capacity and

the charged capacity

> 1.10 : to compensate charge losses you need to put more energy in a battery then what was extracted.

Monitor TestMonitor Test Online tracking of a test in progress

Necessary during cycle test (unless printer is used)

Needed for peukert calculation

Alternative to cycle test with PC: use of the printer

Recording data in a Recording data in a systemsystem

Connect the source/load to the charger port. Make sure the load respects the max current 15A or 50A.

Connect the battery to the battery port

Start a recording test (use the correct profile)

Technical solutionsTechnical solutions1. Simple things first: all connections are present,

polarity ok, bad connection, latest firmware / software, ...

2. Look in the knowledge base on the Emrol website.

3. If you are sure there is a technical problem look in the technical manual

4. Use the service tools to locate / fix the technical problem

EMROL – Your power partner

Technical Technical ManualManual Use ONLY original spare parts (FAN, Fuse,

controller board, ...).

Use one of the tools for testing the device in combination with the Windows software.
