The ATGF 1500 multifunction battery test equipment for rechargeable batteries and battery chargers, which is tailored to meet the needs of electric bicycle (e bike) specialised dealers will be available from batteryuniversity.eu in May.The tester is suitable for almost all e bike rechargeable battery systems used by the e bike manufacturers Derby Cycle, Gazelle, Simplon and ZEG.

After a certified half-day course, users of the equipment are able to perform test and maintenance processes - directly onsite in their own workshops - relevant for the safe operation of e bike rechargeable battery systems.

The tester enables fast functional testing of rechargeable batteries and battery chargers. In addition, in capacity tests, it can determine the remaining capacity of the rechargeable battery according to the IEC standard and in relation to the number of charge and discharge cycles as well as evaluate its calendar age.

Furthermore, if required, a special program enables a recalibration of the capacity display of the rechargeable battery. After test completion, a test protocol is created, which contains the previously requested customer and dealer addresses, all information about the tested rechargeable battery or battery charger as well as the test result.

With the comprehensive test, maintenance, and calibration options of the ATGF 1500, an important part of the rechargeable battery competence is transferred to the e bike dealer.
