CONCORDE BATTERY PARASITIC LOAD TEST ADAPTOR

Concorde Battery Corporation’s interface adaptor measures parasitic loads. The adaptor fits between the standard MS3509 quick disconnect airframe plug and battery receptacle. The adaptor’s leads are then connected to a digital multimeter (DMM) to measure the amount of parasitic load in milliamperes which are present in most modern aircraft. It makes a series connection to a DMM, avoiding any potential for an inaccurate reading or accidental shorting and arcing between the battery terminals and airframe socket connections. The parasitic load adaptor (P/N 4102) is available through any Concorde Battery distributor.
