GOLD-PLUS – NEW Dual Voltage Intelligent Battery Tester with Ah Calibration Control

Creating an ‘all-new’ version of an award-winning and world-selling product would be a tricky challenge for any company. But the experts at ACT Meters Ltd have achieved this with the launch of their new GOLD-PLUS Intelligent Battery Tester.

Managing Director David Grant says: “Both the new GOLD-PLUS and original model, the GOLD-IBT Intelligent Battery Tester, will run alongside each other, offering customers a choice based on their individual needs. However, the new GOLD-PLUS offers additional functions that will appeal more to users who test various types of lead acid batteries which use different technologies.”

The GOLD-PLUS is a dual voltage intelligent battery tester capable of testing 6V and 12V lead acid batteries from 1.2Ah to 100Ah in seconds. Thanks to its innovative pulse analysis software, the GOLD-PLUS offers accurate Ah capacity results based on the battery age, temperature and state of charge. The tester also has the added benefit of ultra low heat generation to allow continuous repeat battery testing.

“As for the unique Ampere-hour (Ah) Calibration Control function,” David adds, “this addresses the problem of testing batteries that us different technology, design and construction. This function enables the Ah reading to be adjusted to suit most battery technologies including standby SLA, cyclic GEL and car FLOODED batteries.”

Key Features

• Tests 6V and 12V SLA, GEL and Flooded batteries between 1.2Ah and 100Ah

• Displays DC voltage and actual Ampere-hour (Ah) capacity available in seconds

• Unique ‘Ah Calibration Control’ feature allows the operator to test various types of lead acid

battery technology

• Ultra low heat generation allows continuous battery testing

• State-of-the-art circuit protection against accidental reverse polarity connection

• Ideal for those who need to test a broad range of batteries types in various applications such as alarm systems, UPS, mobility and leisure

Operation

The large backlit LCD display gives clear indication of; (a) FLAT BATTERY, (b) BATTERY VOLTAGE and (c) Ah CAPACITY.  The LCD also indicates ‘VOLTS TOO HIGH’ if the battery voltage exceeds the 15VDC max.  Once connected to the battery under test, an initial greeting of ‘ACT GOLD-PLUS’ is followed by ‘BATTERY VOLTS’, then ‘PRESS TO TEST’, and finally ‘Ah CAPACITY’.  The Ah capacity result is displayed within a few seconds after pressing test.  If required, the battery can be repeat tested by pressing test again. A table is provided on the reverse of the battery tester recommending when popular size batteries need to be recharged or replaced.  

When testing cyclic GEL or car FLOODED batteries, the Ah calibration control can be adjusted to match the stated battery Ah capacity.  The GOLD-PLUS is powered by the battery under test and comes with quality replaceable test leads Part No: ACT-GPTL. The robust GOLD-PLUS is supplied with a flip stand, soft carry case, easy to follow operating instructions and certificate of conformity.
