Let’s start by measuring a fresh battery
To evaluate whether batteries have deteriorated, measure the
internal resistance of a fresh battery. Deteriorated batteries will have
about 1.5 to 2 times (values for reference purposes) as high internal
resistance as a fresh one. Use these values as guidelines when
determining deterioration evaluation values.
Example: Changes in the internal resistance and voltage
associated with battery deterioration
Internal resistance: 0.5 m
Voltage: 2.0 V

1.1 Evaluating Battery Deterioration
IMPORTANT
To evaluate whether batteries have deteriorated, rst measure the
internal resistance of a fresh or non-defective battery.
If a battery has deteriorated, the internal resistance will increase
by 50 to 100 percent (value for reference purposes) from its initial
value.
The graph below shows the relation between the amount of battery
charge available and the initial value of internal resistance in a leadacid battery. “CS,” “HS,” and “MSE” denote lead-acid battery types
according to Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS).
The internal resistance of an MSE (sealed stationary lead-acid
battery) can be graphically read at approximately 1 m
and approximately 0.13 mΩ (1000 Ah).

Evaluating Battery Deterioration
HIOKI BT3554F961-03
• For an MSE (sealed stationary lead-acid battery), the warning
threshold (WARNING) of the internal resistance is dened as
about 1.5 times its initial value. The rejection value (FAIL) varies
depending on the manufacturer.
• Initial values of internal resistance may vary among batteries
under measurement with the same capacity, depending on the
model or manufacturer. Use the graph on the previous page for
reference purposes.
• Warning thresholds (WARNING) and rejection values (FAIL) of
internal resistance vary depending on the manufacturer.
Source: Battery technician certication textbook, Battery Association
of Japan (BAJ)
The battery measurement values can be compared
with the present threshold values using the comparator
function to determine the scope in which the values fall
within: PASS, WARNING, or FAIL.
See “4 Comparator Function (Evaluation Based on
Threshold Values)” (p. 69).
Changes in the internal resistance of open (liquid) stationary
lead-acid batteries, including CS and HS, and alkaline lead-acid
batteries, may be smaller than sealed lead-acid batteries. Thus, it is
sometimes dicult to determine whether such batteries have been
deteriorated.

Measuring lithium-ion batteries
The instrument measures internal resistance and voltage of
batteries using AC having a frequency of 1 kHz. The internal
resistance of lithium-ion batteries can also be measured; however,
that of a packed battery will include the protective resistance, which
is installed in packed batteries. Besides, the instrument may not be
able to diagnose and evaluate the deterioration of such batteries
because changes in the internal resistance of lithium-ion batteries
due to deterioration may be smaller than lead-acid batteries.

1.2 Overview
The instrument measures internal resistance, voltage, and terminal
temperature of lead-acid, nickel-cadmium, nickel-hydrogen, and
other types of batteries, enabling you to determine if batteries have
deteriorated.
To measure terminal temperature, the 9460 Clip Type Lead with Temperature
Sensor (option) is required. To measure an ambient temperature, the
9451/9451S Temperature Probe (option) is required.
After measurement, connecting the instrument to your computer
with the accompanying USB cable enables measured data
transfer to the computer. Also, you can browse through and record
measured data on your smart phone or tablet using the wireless
communications function.

1.3 Features
Facilitated data management
Measured data can be saved in connection with
prole information.
The instrument can save up to 6000 data sets consisting of
presently measured data (resistance, voltage, temperature,
comparison result). This equates to up to 12 units, each of which
consisting of 500 cell cubicles.
The instrument can be populated 100 sets of prole information
(comments, such as location information and device information,
and the buttery number information).
Saving measured data in connection with prole information
makes it possible for you to manage measurement locations,
UPSs, and batteries easily.
Measurement recording prompt
The instrument and your mobile device with GENNECT Cross
installed, using the display and voice prompts, respectively, can
inform you of comparison results and the battery number you
are to measure next. This enables you to record measured data
quickly.
Automatic hold function and automatic memory
function
When these functions are enabled, the instrument can
automatically, at the instance when the display freezes measured
values, save the measured values in its internal memory. This
can lead to increased operational eciency.
Measurement without the need for UPS system
shutdown
The instrument uses high-precision AC low-resistance
measurement technology and noise reduction technology. Time

required for measurement will be reduced since the instrument is
capable of measuring live wires without requiring a UPS system
shutdown.
Reliable measured values
The instrument is capable of obtaining reliable measured values
without being aected by wire resistance of the test lead or
contact resistance because it uses the AC four-terminal method
to measure internal resistance.
Simultaneous display of resistance, voltage, and
temperature
Without switching functions, the instrument can display
battery internal resistance, voltage, and terminal temperature
simultaneously. To measure terminal temperature, the 9460 Clip
Type Lead with Temperature Sensor (option) is required. To
measure an ambient temperature, the 9451/9451S Temperature
Probe (option) is required.
Comparator function
The comparator function enables you to set threshold values
for internal resistance and voltage. This can evaluate whether
batteries have deteriorated more easily.
Computer interface
Measured data can be transferred to your computer.
Wireless communications function
Connecting the Z3210 Wireless Adapter (option) enables you
to browse through and record measured values with your smart
phone and tablet.
You can utilize the measurement recording prompt in sync with
your mobile device with GENNECT Cross installed.

To ensure safe operation, be sure to read “Operating Precautions”
(p. 12) before starting the measurements.
• There is a considerable dierence in the battery’s internal
resistances between a full-charge state and a discharge state.
To improve evaluation accuracy, perform measurements under
a constant condition (for example, in a full-charge state).
• Terminals of lead-acid batteries (objects under measurement)
have a high resistance. Thus, resistance values may dier
between contact locations, the case side and the tip of the
terminals. Place the test lead into contact with the terminals at
the same location every time.
See “11.4 Eects of Current Density” (p. 159).
• Use the 9460 Clip Type Lead with Temperature Sensor
(option) to measure the temperature of the battery terminals.
Otherwise, use a non-contact thermometer, such as a radiation
thermometer, for safety.
• If terminals are covered with an insulating layer, the
measurement current cannot ow suciently, resulting in
measurement failure. In such a case, clean the terminals to
remove the insulation layer before measurement.

• Do not place the zero-adjustment board on top of the battery
or any metal. Electromagnetic induction eect could result in
unstable measurement values. In such a case, keep the zeroadjustment board away from any metal.
• If zero adjustment is performed with the Pin Type Lead short-
circuited at the tips or using a metal sheet other than the zeroadjustment board intended for this purpose, the instrument
cannot adjust the zero point accurately.
• When the distance between the terminals on the battery (target
under measurement) is more than that between the holes on
the zero-adjustment board, use the outermost holes to perform
zero adjustment.
• Consider the zero-adjustment board to be a consumable. It
is recommended to replace it with a new one after the use of

Determining Battery-Deterioration Evaluation Values
HIOKI BT3554F961-03
3.7 Determining Battery-Deterioration Evaluation Values
To evaluate whether batteries have deteriorated, rst, measure
the internal resistance of a fresh or non-defective battery, and then
decide the battery-deterioration evaluation values.
Deteriorated batteries will have about 1.5 to 2 times (values for
reference purposes) as high internal resistance, generating only
0.9 times as high voltage as a fresh one. Use these values as
guidelines when determining deterioration evaluation values.
