Data Sheet

Battery Analyzers

BA6010 Series

Technical data subject to change

The BA6010 Series battery analyzers measure

voltage and resistance of modern battery

technologies with high accuracy, resolution, and

speed. Additionally, these instruments provide

auxiliary measurement parameters inductance,

dissipation factor, impedance, quality factor,

reactance, phase angle in degrees, and

capacitance in farads.

The BA6010 Series is suitable for characterizing

battery chemistries that are responsive to a 1 kHz

AC stimulus signal, including lead acid, lithium

and alkaline type batteries used in consumer

products, electric vehicles, power backup,

security, and ﬁre alarm systems. Model BA6011

supports voltage measurements of battery packs

up to 300 V whereas the BA6010 features a 6 V

measurement range ideal for battery cell testing.

The handler and remote interfaces expands the

analyzer’s application to R&D and automated

manufacturing environments.

Two user-selected measurements can be displayed

simultaneously, along with stimulus signals

Vm and Im. Unlike comparable battery testers

that only support voltage and resistance

measurements, users can also characterize

additional parameters such as battery capacitance

thus providing additional insight into a battery’s

condition.

Comparator function

The comparator function evaluates measurements

against a user speciﬁed upper and lower limit for

pass/fail (Go/No Go) style testing. Comparative

evaluations can be made using primary, secondary

or both measurements. The front panel PASS /

FAIL indicator will illuminate and a sounder can

be enabled for audible conﬁrmation.

Statistical function

Statistical tools menu

The analyzers can perform statistical calculations

on the measurements and display the results

on-screen.

Kelvin clip test ﬁxture

The 4-terminals on the front of the BA6010

Series are used together with the Kelvin clip test

ﬁxture. This system minimizes the inﬂuence of

the test lead resistance and improves

measurement accuracy.

Improved measurement accuracy

4-wire kelvin connection

Bins for sorting devices

Binning function

Quickly sort components using up to 9 bins. The

bin results are displayed on-screen with each

cycle. The handler interface includes dedicated

signal pins for each bin, Pass/Fail and end of

measurement. The handler interface is suitable

for integration with device handler systems or

programmable logic controllers (PLC) used in

production automation.

Trace function

Trace display

The trace function samples and plots two

user-selected measurement readings over a

speciﬁed time. Enable cursors for viewing plotted

values and time stamp information.
