Discharge testing batteries is the only verifiable method the capacity of your batteries and the LB3980 delivers a programmable, constant current load for your testing needs. Whether you are load testing for capacity, performance, acceptance, NERC compliance, or other, the LB3980 provides an economical complete package solution. Increase employee and battery system safety with PER CELL monitoring and standard built in auto-shutdown features. To suit a variety of industries and diverse applications, we offers over 75 standard models to fit your exact needs at the best price.
DAC(Optional)
PITE LB3980 Load Banks come with an optional DAC package allowing the voltage of EACH CELL to be wirelessly monitored and recorded during discharge. The DAC package allows the user to evaluate the health of each cell and replace only the cells that require replacement saving time and money by significantly reducing labor hours and replacement costs
Typical connection of DAC’s to the battery cells include a test lead connected to each cell from the DAC. Each DAC can connect up to 12 cells. DAC’s are expandable to any size battery system and are compatible with VRLA, VLA, NiCad, and other battery types.

Data View Software
The included DataView software allows the user to monitor the discharge test in real- time or import and view tested data from the load bank with the provided USB drive. View and print a detailed histogram of each cell’s voltage from any point during the discharge test at user defined intervals of 15, 30, or 60 minutes
Recorded data exports directly to Microsoft Excel. Users are able to customize thereport with company name and location as well as input battery information including battery make, cell type, rated capacity, and more. The complete test criteria, weakest cells, string information, and individual cell information are included in the report. Graphs for string, and cells are also available to view in the software
How to chose the right load bank?
To fit our customer’s exact needs from a variety of industries and diverse applications, we offers over 75 standard load bank models, each model have its own size, discharge current and voltage capability, such as LB48V-300A could discharge 48V battery pack with 0-300A constant current, LB125V-100A could discharge 125V battery pack with 0-100A constant current, you only need to chose the right model based on the discharge voltage and current capacity you need, you are also welcome to email us anytime to get the best support and quote
