The ELK-BLT Battery Life
Tester or .Mhos Meter. is a compact, easy to use service
tool for
testing 12 Volt rechargeable batteries. The BLT measures
internal conductivity (Mhos), which is the best indicator of
a
battery's health and life expectancy. Mhos happens to be the
inverse
of Ohms (conductance as opposed to resistance). The BLT
operates as
follows: For each battery brand and size installed you
should start
by measuring and recording a baseline Mhos reading. Then,
during
any service call or inspection simply measure and record the
current
(most recent) Mhos reading. Always compare the current Mhos
reading
with the original reading. Self-adhesive test data labels
may be
used for recording each inspection. When the current Mhos
reading
has reached at or around 71% of the original baseline then
it is
time to consider changing the battery. The BLT includes
a reference chart on the back with numbers equating to Mhos
readings
for common security industry battery sizes.
The BLT receives
its operating power from the battery under test and
automatically
warns when the battery voltage is too low for testing.
Self-adhesive
test data labels
are included which can be placed on each new battery to
record
battery measurements for future tests.
Additional test
data labels are available.
