IEC 60896-21 Spark Tester Description
IEC 60896-21 Spark Tester – 0.02mJ Spark Energy Tester for Lead-acid Starter Batteries
The IEC 60896-21 Spark Tester is a specialized safety testing instrument manufactured by KingPo, designed to evaluate the explosion-proof performance and insulation strength of lead-acid starter batteries. Compliant with IEC 60896-21, this tester generates a controlled 0.02 mJ spark energy across an adjustable electrode gap to simulate potential ignition sources, verifying that battery vents, seals, and insulation prevent spark-induced explosions or fire hazards.
In automotive and industrial applications, lead-acid starter batteries face risks from internal sparks or external ignition sources. The KINGPO spark tester addresses this by delivering precise, repeatable sparks to test battery safety under standardized conditions, allowing manufacturers, testing labs, and certification bodies to confirm compliance and prevent catastrophic failures.
This equipment features 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance, accurate energy delivery, and safe operation, delivering certification-grade results for global safety standards (CE, UL, CB Scheme, CCC).
