Overview

The HRD family of equipment is designed for high rate discharge testing of automotive and commercial 6 and 12 volt batteries. Using Bitrode’s exclusive pneumatically assisted manual test cables, the operator can perform a short test on each battery to find defects such as poor welds, reversed plates, and poorly formed batteries.
