The impedance of a battery provides useful information that can be an early indication of performance issues and hidden trouble spots. High ohmic values are often a prompt for further investigation and potentially the replacement of an aging battery. Impedance is a marker that is especially useful in checking stationary batteries.

There are three types of ohmic battery testers — impedance testers, conductance testers and resistance testers. Each method is recognized by the IEEE and each can be used as a means of determining the State-of-Health (SOH) of a battery. Perhaps one of the greatest values of ohmic testing is that it is performed while the battery is on-line and it fills the gap between discharge tests by providing an indication of internal changes to the battery.

Batteries are essential in substations, power plants, telecom and other industrial facilities. Storage cells serve as auxiliary power in case of power interruptions or for powering diagnostic equipment during maintenance. Unfortunately, batteries may lose their capacity even before they reach their expected operating life. It is important to keep storage batteries well maintained to ensure they are readily available in case of power interruption.
