CBA IV Pro

Computerized Battery Analyzer

* Improvement/Enhancement on CBA IV

True constant current battery capacity test with results graphically displayed, constant power testing supported with Extended software upgrade
Discharge current is software and electronically regulated using a solid state switch and fan cooled electronic load
Test any type of battery; coin cell to automotive or larger. Presets for NiCad, NiMH, Lead Acid, Li Ion, Li Poly, Alkaline, Carbon Zinc, Mercury etc.
Solar cell profiling capability *
Lower current testing capabilities - down to 10 mA *

Tests quickly at real world load conditions, up to 150 watts or 40 amps maximum, whichever is higher
High voltage testing at up to 55 volts; the equivalent of 1 to 38 NiCad or NiMh cells
Optional 500 watt and 1000 watt amplifiers

On-board computer performs accurate measurement with 12 bit effective resolution. Auto ranging for 2 current ranges and three voltages
Each CBA is individually calibrated with a computerized calibration system
Calibration certification data provided with CBA IV Pro

Fail safe: automatic protection of temperature, current and power *
Safety watchdog stops a discharge in the event of a computer crash. *
Discharge test current user selectable from 0 to 40 Amps
Automatic voltage shut off at end of test using a software recommended or user selected safe discharge voltage
Automatic over-temperature shut off at end of test at using a software recommended or user selected maximum temperature with optional external magnetic temperature sensor.

User selected battery cell chemistry, number of cells and test current
Software recommends safe tests based on user supplied battery information
Automatic graph setup and scaling
Measures and displays voltage, current, amp-hrs, watts and temperature*
Easy overlay comparisons of multiple graphs may be displayed saved and recalled
Save, display and print battery test graphs and battery labels
Plug and Play high speed USB interface, with easy to use and intuitive Windows® software supplied on CD ROM

* Requires optional temperature probe and extended software

Power profile to characterize batteries, power supplies and solar cells
Programmable automatic duty cycle test with up to 999 second on/off cycle periods
Regulated constant power discharge (current goes up as battery voltage drops)
Temperature graphing with a recovery time option
Ragone power density charting using battery weight (used for performance comparison of energy sources charting energy density (Watt-Hours/kg) vs power density (W/kg))
Test-lead resistance voltage calibration utility to give higher accuracy voltage readings right at the battery terminals
Enables placement of user notes on graphs
Multiple unit testing (each requires Extended License to access)
