Hioki 3561 Battery HiTester
The Hioki 3561 is a benchtop battery tester optimized for high-speed production line evaluation of small rechargeable battery packs. It simultaneously measures internal resistance and open-circuit voltage, making it suitable for quality control in battery manufacturing for mobile and portable devices.
Description
The Hioki 3561 is engineered for use in automated production environments to test small secondary batteries rapidly and accurately. It uses a four-terminal AC method to measure internal resistance (IR) while simultaneously measuring battery voltage (OCV). The unit offers two resistance measurement ranges (300 mΩ and 3 Ω) and a voltage measurement range up to 20 V, with fine resolution and precision. Its measurement cycle is very fast (approx. 3 ms response time) to keep up with high throughput. The 3561 supports external triggering, comparator judgments (Hi/Lo/In), and standard interfaces (RS-232C, external I/O). It includes memory capability for storing up to 400 measurement results, and features like averaging, zero adjustment, and statistical processing help maintain consistent quality control.
