Impedance Test
Impedance of a battery can be a good indicator of degradation of a battery’s performance. In general, the lower
the impedance number the better the battery performance during discharge. As a battery ages the
impedance starts to rise indicating possible problems with the electrolyte, separator, contact corrosion, or
metal interfaces, all impact the impedance.
The initial impedance of a new battery should be recorded and compared through the life of a battery and a
determination can be made to remove the battery from service when the impedance rises out of range.
The Analyzer X3 and X6 produce impedance results within a 15 seconds of testing and displays the impedance in
Ohms on the display or on a printout when an optional printer is used.
Follow the directions below for Impedance testing.
