CTS-655P Celltron GENSTART – Generator Starter Battery Tester

The Celltron GENSTART, originally branded under Midtronics and now part of Franklin Electric’s line-up, is a specialised battery tester built to check the health and reliability of generator starting batteries.

In critical environments such as hospitals, data centres, universities, financial institutions, telecoms, and emergency services, generator backup systems are essential. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has established monthly testing requirements (NFPA-110 Section 8.3.6.1) to ensure battery readiness.

Using advanced conductance technology, the Celltron GENSTART offers a cost-effective and easy-to-use solution to ensure your generator will start when needed most.
