Current: 0-100A (1600A in parallel)
Circuits: up to 48
Network: Ethernet
Accuracy: ±0.1% of FS*
Data Sampling Rate: up to 10mS
*Accuracy values are conservative assuming operation will be through the standard temperature range of 0-40° C and RH from 10-90% (non-condensing). Units calibrated and maintained in a temperature and humidity controlled environment can expect an accuracy of 0.02-0.05%FS.
Overview
The CV is Bitrode’s economical cycle life test equipment for the network based line of battery laboratory equipment. Designed to work with VisuaLCN Lab Client software, the CV provides standard or fully customized charge, discharge and rest cycles for automotive and industrial batteries. The Model CV is also useful for reserve capacity and charge acceptance testing with recharge.
