There is a need to test primary batteries to see how much life remains in the field. This PSM-13 primary battery tester is designed to be carried on the soldiers belt.
The TS-183 is a primary battery tester designed for use at the depot level or higher (in a lab environment).
The set consists of the following items: TS-1301 Test Set, U-240, U-241, U314, U315, U-347, U-410 adapters and the CS-842 canvas carry bag. The test set contains a 1 ma full scale meter marked red, yellow and green and a switch to make various connections to the 8 pin plug recessed on the side of the tester opposite to the meter. The battery adapters typically contain load resistors and voltage dividers and/or Zener diode so that the meter will read properly for the section of the battery being tested.All of the adapters have an octal tube socket on one end (see the U-410 in the photos above) that mates to the recessed octal plug on the TS-1301 The U-241 adapter has the U-242 pin straighter/protector attached by a string.
WARNING - Do not use this adapter to try and test the BA-5598/U LiSO2 battery. Doing so may result in causing the battery to vent and/or burning out the U-410 adapter.Connect the appropriate adapter to the battery tester and insert the adapter into the battery.
Note: When used on the BA-4386 the tester activates the battery and then the battery will have more output than it would have if only connected to the radio without first applying a heavy load. I suspect that radio operators who had access to the PSM-13 would use it prior to installing a new battery to activate the battery. If you know about this tell me.
