Storage Battery Systems Inc. has developed a leading edge digital battery diagnostic tester to perform IEEE battery maintenance & tesitng for any stationary application such as Telecom Power, Utility Power or Critical Data Power battery systems. Suitable for VRLA, sealed lead acid, flooded lead acid or NiCad cells, the SBS-IBEX is automatic with 3 second, single pass sampling rates, (competitive models require up to 3 passes of 12 second durations). A patented internal algorithm completely biases AC ripple during float charge cycles. The SBS-IBEX is, of course, temperature compensated & measures internal impedance (z), dc voltage (V), internal temperature (T) as well as intercell resistance. It can be used on single cells, multi-cell monoblocks or telecom parallel cell configurations. The data is locally stored & can be uploaded easily to a PC. Microsoft compatible data trending & analysis software is included. Handheld storage will meet or exceed up to 15 strings of 240 cells each. The SBS-IBEX is an affordable alternative that allows you download firmware upgrades from the Internet should any be required. This unit is similar to the Alber Cellcorder in design.
