Product Description
Spark Tester โ IEC 60896-21 0.02mJ Spark Energy Tester for Lead-acid Starter Batteries
The Spark Tester is a specialized safety testing instrument manufactured by KingPo, designed to perform controlled spark testing on lead-acid starter batteries in full compliance with IEC 60896-21. This spark tester generates a fixed 0.02 mJ spark energy across an adjustable electrode gap (0.5โ1 mm) to simulate potential ignition sources, verifying that battery vents, seals, terminal insulation, and gas release areas prevent spark-induced explosions or fire hazards.
In automotive and industrial applications, lead-acid starter batteries carry risks from internal sparks or external ignition during charging/discharging. The IEC 60896-21 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.
The equipment features 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and long-term durability, along with over-current protection and emergency stop for safe operation. It is essential for R&D validation, production quality control, and certification testing of lead-acid starter batteries.
