Product Overview

The Battery Beak is produced by Cross the Road Electronics.
This is a battery load tester, capable of delivering an 18 amp load and measuring:
  • Internal resistance
  • State of charge (SOC)
  • Can determine the overall health of the battery
The Battery Beak supports all battery chemistries but has additional features to determine battery health for both Lead Acid and NiMH chemistries in a variety of voltages and capacities. The Battery Beak mates directly with the SB-50A connector used in the FIRST Robotics Competition, but we've created bundles for FIRST Tech Challenge users to give them the same great experience. These bundles ship with the Battery Beak configured for the correct battery type and with the appropriate adapter cable for those battery terminals.

The high resolution OLED display displays all the information you need for a quick decision on battery health:
  • Internal resistance
  • SOC
  • Open-load voltage
  • Voltage at 1 amp and 18 amps
  • Battery status of 'Good', 'Fair' or 'Bad'
The internal resistance measurement is useful in determining if any bad cells are present. When the Battery Beak is used to track a battery's internal resistance over time and compared to its manufacturer specs, it is possible to determine when to take a battery out of service before a failure occurs. The built in power down feature allows the Beak to be connected to your battery indefinitely without draining your battery. The housing of the Beak is a durable ABS/Polycarbonate blend and mates directly to the Anderson SB-50A connector.

Included with this part is the Battery Beak and a stylish lanyard.

    Great

    It works exactly as intended, and does a very good job at it! I love all of it's features, but could be a bit overwhelming for someone who doesn't need it all. Lucky for me, I do!

    The Battery Beak did more than I expected, but it was a bit expensive for my level of use.

    When i realized i ordered the wrong part Ms.Hayes went above and beyond to find the packaged order that was to go out in the shipping dept.and substitute the correct parts needed. Once again this is the type of outstanding service Andy Mark staff provides.I have been dealing with Andy Mark for 17 yrs and this company is always dead on in every way from sales to order history and shipping sometimes they are too fast as in my case mentioned above. Thank you to all of the Andy Mark staff Tony Kryl Head Coach WHB 3171 FIRST Robotics

    The team used the battery beak to check the status of batteries before installing them in the robot before each match.
