Overview
The Bitrode VRX/VRL family of equipment is designed for high current production line discharge testing of automotive and industrial 6 and 12 volt batteries, allowing manufacturers to test for defects such as poor welds, reversed plates and poorly formed batteries. While they perform the same function, the VRL is manually controlled while the VRX is PLC controlled.
