Yuasa Battery Sales has launched two new automotive battery conductance analysers that can play a key role in the testing and battery management process.

The new MDX-617 and 617P with printer option are custom made analyser solutions that offer users the opportunity to increase revenues and make significant cost savings. These innovative analysers have been developed for automotive service needs and can be used with multiple battery technologies including AGM, Gel, lead-acid and spiral.

Designed for use with Yuasa's wide range of automotive batteries, the new analysers offer three test functions, a warranty test, enabling users to reduce warranty claim related costs by efficiently determining accountability, plus a standard battery mode offering conductance testing to determine the ability of a battery to transmit current through its internal structure. The third function is new battery mode, providing a test that determines the health of unused batteries.

The MDX-617/P is battery powered and housed in acid-resistant ABS plastic, so is fully capable of operating in harsh workshop environments.
