High Rate Discharge Testing (HRDT) – Arbin Instruments

High Rate Discharge Testing (HRDT) Test & Measurement

The Arbin HRDT High Rate Discharge Testing series is a single channel system designed for high rate discharge applications such as SLI battery cranking tests (cold or warm) for any battery chemistry. Users may de-fine their own custom discharge profile for any large battery/capacitor testing application. Arbin’s software offers incredibly flexible control over test control parameters and conditions.

Arbin Instruments offer several different hardware technologies that can be utilized in the HRDT systems for discharge-only, or charge & discharge capability. Systems are heavily engineered so the most appropriate technology is used to meet each testing requirement without adding excess cost for features not needed.

Standard models have been created for common lead acid as well as lithium and other advanced chemistries of battery.
