Fluke 500 Specifications

Fluke 500 Series

Battery Analyzers

Intelligent test probe with
integrated LCD display

Reduced testing complexity, a
simplified workflow and an intuitive
user interface provide a new level of
ease-of-use in battery testing.

The new Fluke 500 Series Battery Analyzer is ideal
test tool for maintenance, troubleshooting and
performance testing of individual stationary batteries
and battery banks used in critical battery back-up
applications. The intuitive user interface, compact
design and rugged construction ensure optimum
performance, test results and reliability. Fluke 500
Series Battery Analyzers cover a broad range of
battery test functions ranging from DC voltage and
resistance tests to full condition testing using an
automated string function testing and the test probe
integrated infra-red temperature measurement
system. 500 Series Battery Analyzers are designed
for measurements on stationary batteries of all types.

Technical Data

• Key measurements: Battery resistance, dc and ac

voltage, dc and ac current, ripple voltage, frequency
and battery temperature.

• Sequence measurement mode: Automatic or manual
sequence testing of battery strings with automatic
measurement storage including voltage, resistance
and temperature (with BTL21 intelligent test probe).

• Comprehensive logging: All measured values are
automatically captured during testing and can be
reviewed on the instrument before downloading.

• Optimized user interface: Quick, guided setup
ensures you’re capturing the right data every time,
and the combined visual and audio feedback cues
reduce the risk of measurement confusion.

• Threshold comparison: Configure multiple refer­ence values and thresholds for resistance and voltage.
Comparison result feedback after each measurement
via visual and verbal cues.

• Ergonomic test leads: Rugged coaxial two pole
kelvin test pins with remote SAVE button reduce test
time and increase efficiency.

• NEW! Intercell strap resistance test and data
management: Measures the resistance of the

intercell connection between batteries in a string.
Once the measurements are completed Fluke Battery
Management Software version 1.0.69 can now report
the strap resistance for a battery string or historical
data over time.

• Test probe extenders: Long reach probes for double
stacked cells.

• Intelligent test probe set (BT520 and BT521):
Integrated LCD display, infrared temperature mea­surement (BT521 only), verbal audio feedback and
captures voltage readings and temperature logging
automatically or via integrated save button.

• Enhanced data analysis: Quickly compare trends,
analyze results and create reports with included bat­tery management software.

• Easy reporting: Generate PDF report on the PC soft-
ware with analysis graphics and data table or quick
email format report with csv file on the mobile app.

• Wireless communication: For data download and
remote display while measuring. Browse and email
measurement data via iOS app.

• Battery life: 7.4 V 3000 mAh lithium-ion battery for
more than eight hours continuous operation.

• USB port: For fast data download to supplied data
analysis and report management application software.

• Highest safety rating in the industry: CAT III 600 V,
1000 V dc max. rated for safe measurements all
around the battery power supply equipment.

Voltage and resistance thresholds

Fluke Battery Analyzers allow you to quickly and easily
define upper and lower measurement thresholds or
tolerance ranges. During the testing process, measured
values are automatically compared to the predefined
threshold levels producing a PASS, FAIL or WARN indi­cation after each measurement. A maximum of 10 sets

Fluke Battery Management software

Fluke Battery Management Software allows you
to quickly and easily import data from the battery
analyzer to a PC. The measurement data and bat­tery profile information is stored and archived with
the Management Software and can be used com­pare results, switch results between conductance
and resistance (requires Software Management
software version 1.0.69 or later) readings and
perform trend analysis. All measurement data, bat­tery profile and analysis information can be used to
easily generate reports.

• Quick view saved readings

• Profile management

• Histogram of a battery string with end user

defined threshold

• Historical trend data of batteries

• Multiple rounds of discharge voltage

• Quick Report Generation

• Upgrade Fluke Battery Analyzer firmware

• Switch measurement results between conduc-

tance and resistance readings

of thresholds can be stored and threshold indications
are determined based on the following criterion:

Fluke Battery Analyze mobile app

The BT521 offers wireless communication for data
download and remote display while measuring via the
dedicated Fluke Battery Analyzer mobile app. Using
the Fluke Battery Analyze mobile app you can:

• Browse profile

• Review sequence testing data

• E-mail sequence testing data
