Some problems require custom solutions. One of our customers has a fleet of intrinsically safe instrumentation all of which use rechargeable batteries. Intrinsically safe batteries come equipped with an intrinsically safe barrier which limits the electrical current to a level unable to create a spark. This type of equipment is necessary in places that deal with flammable materials and this level of safety earns the name "explosion proof" We designed and built a custom tester for both the charger and battery so the customer can easily do some troubleshooting on their own. When you have 50+ batteries and dozens of charging stations it can become a handful to make sure everything is functioning properly. Now they just have to hook up a battery or charger to the tester and a green light will illuminate if it tests "good."
