The custom adapters are easiest to use they are specially designed and the batteries go in only one way. There is no simple way to connect batteries, especially when dealing with small packs that have tiny surface contacts.Ĭadex solved the battery interface challenge with custom adapters for common batteries and universal adapters for specialty packs. The service programs include QuickSort™ for rapid-testĬonnecting various shapes and forms of batteries has always been a challenge, and technicians have invented unique contraptions with springs and levers so complicated that only the inventor dares to touch. The extended version goes to 36V and 6A charge and discharge currents. Two- and four-station analyzers service batteries from 1.2 to 15V, programmable up to 4A per station.

Each of the four independent stations allows unique service programs. Figure 1 illustrates a C7400 battery analyzer servicing a variety of batteries in configured adapters that set the analyzer to the correct setting. These workhorses accommodate lead-, nickel- and lithium-based batteries, and operate stand-alone or with a PC. The Cadex C7000 Series serves the industry well and set new standards for what a battery analyzer could do.

Battery Analyzerīattery analyzers became popular in the 1980s and 1990s to restore nickel-cadmium batteries affected by “memory,” as well as to prolong battery life as part of maintenance. Public safety, medical and defense organizations still depend on tests involving periodic full discharge/charge cycles. There is a move towards methods that take only seconds instead of hours however, rapid testing provides only estimated state-of-health values, and the accuracies vary according to the method used. This procedure is time-consuming and stresses the battery. Conventional battery test methods measure the stored energy through a full discharge.
