Valen RE856 battery tester

Rising impedance is a recognised indicator of pending battery failure and using an RE856 as a proactive trending tool allows technicians to monitor the condition of battery cells while they remain connected in a live circuit.

A series of results can be logged, downloaded and graphed - providing a guard against any likelihood of failure being attributed to neglect. This ergonomically designed handheld device is a diagnostic tool that comes complete with a clamp meter that integrates to allow further testing and confirmation of current measurements.

A major advantage of impedance monitoring over load testing is that batteries are assessed without being discharged. Results stored in the RE856’s memory can be read from its display, downloaded to a PC or issued via an optional printer.
