A battery is a device that stores electric charge. It consists of one or more electrolytic
cells that supply electric power when connected externally to devices such as
flashlights, smartphones, watches and clocks, electric cars, etc. A battery analyzer or a
battery tester is a device to check the state of an electric battery. Basic battery
analyzers include ammeters and voltmeters that measure the charge stored in the
battery under test and its voltage output. Advanced battery analyzers are capable of
determining the battery's condition by evaluating critical parameters such as its
capacity for accumulating charge and any conditions affecting the performance.
Power factor controllers are mainly used to control voltage fluctuations and maintain
optimum power factor for eliminating interference during machine operations. Power
factor controllers include both automatic and manual controllers. The applications of
both these controllers are similar, the recognition mode being the exception. Automatic
power factor controllers use an automatic capacitor recognition mode whereas manual
power factor controllers must be adjusted manually in times of fluctuation or decrease
in the power factor. Manual power factor controllers are suitable for testing relay
outputs. However, the use of these controllers is limited as most of them are getting
replaced by automatic power factor controllers. This is because automatic power factor
controllers are easy to use and maintain compared with manual power factor
controllers.
