1.2 Product Function
KWB50 battery tester features the following functions: battery test, cranking test, charging test and other additional functions. Battery test mainly aims to analyze the battery healthy status to calculate the actual cold cranking capability of the batery of the battery and the aging extent, which provide reliable analysis evidence for the test and maintenance of the battery. If may notify the user to replace battery in advance when the battery gets aged.
Cranking test is used to test and analyze the starting motor. Testing the actual required cranking current and cranking voltage of the starting motor is helpful to determine whether the starting motor works properly or not. If the starting malfunction may cause an increased starting loaded torque; or rotor friction of the starting motor generates an increasing friction of the starting motor itself. Charging test is to check and analyze the charging system, including generator, rectifer, rectifier diode, etc., thus to find out whether the output voltage of the generator is normal, the rectifir diode works properly and the abnormal, it willlead to over charge. or incomplete charge of the battery, thus cause quick damage to the battery and greatly shorthen the life of other loaded appliance.
