Battery load for. battery test model Marc

The battery load tester for multimeters is a practical tool for service technicians and device inspectors looking to quickly assess battery health on the go. This compact load connects easily to a multimeter via test leads when measuring voltage.

The load tester simulates a realistic load, enabling an accurate assessment of battery condition during operation. Batteries that may initially seem fine can show a normal voltage at rest. However, when the battery is bad or faulty, the voltage will often drop significantly once the load is applied. This helps prevent misleading readings and provides a realistic indication of battery health.

This battery load tester is suitable for batteries with a capacity of 1.2 Ah to 12 Ah, commonly found in patient lifts, shower trolleys, and shower and toilet chairs. It provides a quick and simple way to identify defective battery packs.

This model is named after Marc Warmerdam, who frequently used this solution as a lift inspector. Colleagues at other companies appreciated the practicality of this tool, though it initially lacked an official part number. Since then, it has remained known as "Model Marc."
