Megavar engineers use this unit on commissioning projects across Australia. Hire it from a team that knows it inside out.
All Megavar test equipment is maintained under a documented calibration programme. Instruments are calibrated either by external calibration laboratories or in-house against reference standards that are themselves laboratory-calibrated, with measurement traceable to Australian national measurement standards held by the National Measurement Institute. A current calibration certificate is available on request. If your project requires a specific calibration interval, test standard, or documentation for a client submission, tell us at enquiry on 1300 730 499 and we will confirm what applies before you commit.

It measures battery internal resistance, terminal voltage, and optional temperature, helping assess battery health quickly without requiring discharge.
It is optimised for sealed lead-acid, VRLA, and nickel-based batteries used in backup power and substation DC systems.
Yes. It allows online testing without disconnecting the battery from the system, making it ideal for live UPS and backup bank inspections.
No. It is a diagnostic tester, not a load bank. It assesses internal condition but does not perform discharge capacity testing like the Torkel series.
Yes. It can store up to 4800 measurements onboard and transfer them via Bluetooth to the GENNECT Cross mobile app or PC software.
Typical test time is less than 2 seconds per battery, allowing fast walkthroughs for large installations.
