Fluke's most advanced BT500 series battery analyser, the BT521 performs more testing procedures, includes more accessories and is the most comprehensive solution for testing batteries of any type.
Designed with portability in mind and shaped like most common digital multimeters, the BT521 makes battery testing simple. It even includes integrated user-help systems which will guide you through every aspect of configuring a test and audio/visual feedback cues when using the tester's comparison function.
The BT521 comes supplied as standard with Fluke's intelligent test probe. This uniquely designed, long-reach probe includes its own LCD screen for easy viewing of measurement results, can test battery temperature using infrared non-contact technology and also performs voltage, resistance and temperature testing automatically.
Once you're done testing the BT521 stores all of the information directly on the tester in its 999 record internal memory. You can then connect it directly to PC via the USB port/USB cable to download testing information into Fluke's included software package to create reports, quickly compare trends and much more.
This is also the only tester in the range that can be used to measure AC/DC current using the included clamp.
