Conductance Testing FAQ

Conductance testing is now a part of the IEEE standard for testing sealed valve regulated lead acid batteries. Extensive field test results have verified that conductance can be used to measure the capacity degradation of standby batteries. Many telecommunications providers and users of Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems use Midtronics standby testers to monitor their batteries in service. This acceptance of conductance methodology has resulted in a series of questions about conductance testing. The following are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions:
