parameters How to improve the accuracy of a capacity test Charger and cycle test on a battery Use of monitor test The possibility of recording data in a system with a
load/source on a battery Can the AlfaBat break down, how can you test it
(tools and technical manual) and how can you fix it (spare parts + instructions)

ImprovImprovinging the accuracy the accuracy Correct battery temperature
Battery quality Peukert value
EMROL – Your power partner
PeukertPeukert Peukert capacity = capacity when discharged
with one ampere
Normal value = 1.10 to 1.36
Ideal value = 1
High values indicate poor battery quality
AlfaBat has a function to determine this factor

Charger and cycle test Charger and cycle test on a batteryon a battery
Select a correct profile Adaptor is required Connect the charger
Charger test: result in Ah Usefull to record a charger’s regime.
Cycle discharge: result in % Cycle charge: Charge factor
EMROL – Your power partner
Charge FactorCharge Factor Relation between the discharged capacity and
the charged capacity
> 1.10 : to compensate charge losses you need to put more energy in a battery then what was extracted.

Monitor TestMonitor Test Online tracking of a test in progress
Necessary during cycle test (unless printer is used)
Needed for peukert calculation
Alternative to cycle test with PC: use of the printer

Recording data in a Recording data in a systemsystem
Connect the source/load to the charger port. Make sure the load respects the max current 15A or 50A.
Connect the battery to the battery port
Start a recording test (use the correct profile)

Technical solutionsTechnical solutions1. Simple things first: all connections are present,
polarity ok, bad connection, latest firmware / software, ...
2. Look in the knowledge base on the Emrol website.
3. If you are sure there is a technical problem look in the technical manual
4. Use the service tools to locate / fix the technical problem
EMROL – Your power partner
Technical Technical ManualManual Use ONLY original spare parts (FAN, Fuse,
controller board, ...).
Use one of the tools for testing the device in combination with the Windows software.
