Battery testers and power quality

Power You Can Trust

Keep your critical systems running with confidence. Megger’s advanced battery testers and power quality analysers help you prevent downtime, verify system integrity, and stay ahead of faults. From ensuring backup batteries are ready when needed to detecting hidden power quality issues before they cause damage, our tools deliver accurate, actionable data. Built for ease of use and designed to meet industry standards, Megger solutions support safer, smarter, and more reliable electrical infrastructure.

Protect Personnel from Electrical Hazards

We prioritise operator protection by designing equipment that exceeds international standards. Our testers feature advanced safety ratings and fused leads, shielding your team from arc flash risks and ensuring a secure testing environment in live banks.

Ensure Consistent Power Availability

Batteries degrade over time, but our robust testers deliver precise, repeatable measurements despite high electrical noise. You can depend on our instruments to accurately track health trends, ensuring your backup systems perform flawlessly when needed most.

Optimise Lifecycle Management with Data

Don’t guess when to replace cells. Our software analyses impedance and capacity data to provide a clear picture of battery health. This allows you to forecast end-of-life scenarios, budget effectively, and replace only the units that truly require it.

Frequently asked questions

The frequency of impedance readings varies with battery type, site conditions, and previous maintenance practices. IEEE Recommended Practices suggest semi-annual tests. With that said, Megger recommends that VRLA batteries are measured quarterly due to their unpredictable nature and semi-annually for NiCd and flooded lead-acid.

Many manufacturers now publish impedance values to establish baselines. Several larger organisations who buy many batteries per year have written percent increases of impedance into their battery purchasing specifications for warranty and replacement purposes.

While performing a discharge test, IEEE requires you to measure the individual cell voltages multiple times throughout the test. Using the BITE5 to measure cell voltage gives you the advantage of measuring impedance at the same time. With the extra data gained from impedance testing, you will be able to see which cells are more susceptible to failure, even though they may not have reached their voltage limit during the test. Additionally, with the impedance data from fully charged cells and from cells throughout and at the end of the discharge test, you can develop baseline impedance data. With the baseline data, you will have pass/fail limits for future impedance tests on the tested battery bank, as well as its specific types of cells.
