Circuit required to check the 12 V , 60 Amps battery on load i.e. Load Tester (meter) circuitry is required ?

thanks
 

60 Ampere hours is the batteries capacity. To test it you must simulate the sort of service you would expect in actual use. For instance if it for a car, it must be able to supply, 200A for 30 Seconds with a terminal voltage greater then 10.8V. Or if its for a UPS, then perhaps it should supply 2A for greater then 24 Hours with a terminal voltage greater then 11.5V

For a car ....... What should be the circuit & what components required & their schematic ??

thanks

would this circuit is able to load test a battery either for car engine cranking (12V & 60 Amps) or for UPS battery ?

thanks
 

If there is much difference in battery capacity then you have to set load according to capacity of battery.
 
The tester is meant up to 200A. The author says :
250 Amps is huge quantity of current, needs skill to handle. And this is a best example, I do not think any other example is needed. If you study the article carefully, all your answers are in there.
