Description
Megger BITE2 Battery Tester Repair
The BITE2 is the original-generation Megger battery impedance tester — the unit the BITE2P and BITE3 evolved from. It measures stationary-cell impedance to flag weak cells, and unlike the later non-load models it uses an internal load element in its measurement method, which is exactly where the most common failure shows up.
June Company repairs and calibrates the BITE2 for battery-maintenance crews keeping a long-serving tester in the field.
Common BITE2 problems we fix
- Load resistor burnout — the signature BITE2 failure; the internal load element fails and the unit can’t complete a measurement. Replaced and verified.
- Measurement-circuit drift — impedance readings wandering off over time, recalibrated so cell-health trends stay accurate.
- Won’t take or hold a reading — front-end and connection faults.
- Display or power faults — aging-unit field wear.
- Data won’t transfer — interface faults affecting logging.
FAQs
My BITE2 stopped reading — is it the load resistor? Often, yes — that’s the classic BITE2 fault. We replace the burned element, check the measurement circuit, and recalibrate so it reads accurately again.
Can you still calibrate this older unit? Yes — verified against our reference standards with a NIST-traceable certificate.
Every repair includes NIST-traceable calibration and a 90-day parts-and-labor warranty. Email us or submit a service request.
