This video shows the BTS 200 from ISA - Altanova. BTS 200 is a battery testing unit that uses the discharge method to test the batteries. What it actually does is the BTS functions as a load (that can be regulated) and BTS discharges the battery. It actually takes the current from a battery bank - and turns is into heat. Since there is a lot of current in a battery bank that needs to be converted to heat, BTS has 5 strong fans that dissipate this heat. You will hear them very clearly when the BTS is started. In this example, since we were filming this in the office, we used a DC supply as a simulator of batteries. Of course this is just for presentation purposes.
When testing a battery bank the steps are these:
1. Connect the battery bank
2. Turn on BTS (do not first turn on the BTS and then connect the battery bank)
3. Set up how much current you want to discharge from the bank (max. 130 A for 110 V batteries, and 65 A for 220 V batteries)
4. Set up the stopping values - i.e. at which battery voltage you want to stop the discharge process OR after how much time you want to stop OR after how much discharged Energy you want to stop (Ah). You can set up 1, 2 or 3 values and it works in OR logic - after one value is reached - the discharge stops.
5. You can choose at which memory position you want to save the discharge data, but this is set automatically if you do not change it.
6. Press START
You will hear the fans starting to ventilate, it will be loud. If only one fan does not work, the BTS stops, since it does not want risk overheating the test set. Be attentive that there are no small pieces of sting on the floor since fan of BTS will suck it in and it might wrap around the BTS. Now we follow the process. It takes some seconds for BTS to reach the desired discharge value of current. Also every 15 seconds the voltage on battery bank is measured. Also the power of BTS is 16 kW. You can use 1 BTS or you can use 1 BTS and 1 - 9 ELU (external load units) if you want to discharge more current (it does the job quicker).
In this example we use 24 V "battery bank" - and we set it the test to:
1. Discharge 3 A
2. To stop when the voltage of battery bank is 20 V OR after BTS discharges 3 Ah OR after 5 minutes elapse.
