Good Morning Emma,

I must say you are the best.  Normally I do not receive such fast replies from overseas suppliers, and that too complete with courier charges.

Have a nice day.

You provide a great service, you have an excellent range of products and deliver on the double. 

Here in Cork, Ireland it can be difficult to get certain brands and parts of fire alarm systems. You have been a great help. So thank you.

Trevor

Good Afternoon,

I just wanted to provide some positive feedback on your team with specific regards to Emma Williams in Export Sales. I work for a Facilities Maintenance company that is based both in the UK and Ireland which as I’m sure you can imagine; especially in the current climate can be challenging when it comes to stock.

I first started using your site last year and since then have always been welcomed with the most efficient delivery and quick response on stock required for our FA Technician.

Nothing is ever too much trouble and I just wanted to forward this feedback on to yourselves so it was brought to your attention and more importantly to say thank you.

Kind Regards,

Ceri

Cerian Rousset

ACT 12v Chrome Intelligent Battery Tester

Fast Identification

The ACT CHROME 12V SLA Battery Tester uses advanced pulsed load technology to deliver accurate DC Voltage and Ah capacity results based on the battery’s temperature and state of charge. A quick look up table on the side of the unit identifies when batteries should be recharged or replaced due to age or operating conditions (65% of rated capacity). A temperature sensitive strip allows the ambient temperature to also be recorded.

The ACT CHROME 12V SLA Battery Tester offers a simple and accurate solution for testing 12V SLA batteries commonly used in fire, security and many other electrical systems.

Supplied: ACT CHROME 12V SLA Intelligent Battery Tester, ACT 3532 Terminal Connectors, ACT 410N Soft Carry Case, Sample ACT BTL Labels, Operating Instructions and Certificate of Calibration

Quick Tip – Temperature effects capacity

Many battery manufacturers rate their batteries at 20°C

Below 20°C, the battery can have a significantly lower available capacity

Over 20°C, the battery can have a significantly higher available capacity

This can easily be as much as ±50% of the rated capacity

Bear in mind the differences in temperature when testing – for example in an enclosure or next to a hot transformer (high than rated reading) or located externally / cold environment (lower than rated reading)

Quick Tip – State of charge effects capacity

Most battery manufacturers rate their batteries at rest

Charging voltages and currents have a direct impact on available capacity

Bear in mind when testing batteries recently removed from charge

Many new batteries are not fully charged when produced

Quick Tip – Connection effects results

Always connect to clean battery terminals

A tight grip around the battery tab terminals is essential for accurate readings

Do not connect to high resistance bolts as this will produce low Ah results

Where bolt connections are present, use the ACT 3532 Battery Terminal Connectors supplied with your ACT CHROME

Key Features

  • Compact design and simple operation
  • Simulates a 20 hour (C20) discharge test in seconds
  • Designed for 12V standby SLA batteries between 1.2Ah and 200Ah
  • Automatically displays the DC Voltage and available Ampere hour (Ah) capacity based on the battery’s temperature and state of charge
  • Quickly verify voltage and capacity of new straight-out-of-the-box batteries
  • Identify low or abnormal capacity of used batteries
  • Reverse polarity protection
  • Powered by the battery under test
  • Free from complicated settings and functions
