Battery Analyzers

West Mountain Radio CBA V--Computerized Battery Analyzers

West Mountain Radio CBA V--Computerized Battery Analyzers have advanced capabilities for scientific battery performance assessment. * 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 * Multiple discharge tests can use watts as a parameter (CBA II/CBA III only allows current) Perform Fast, High-Power Testing * 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 V (previous model CBA II/CBA III were only 48 V max.); the equivalent of 1 to 38 NiCad or NiMh cells * Perform power profile test (increase current at user's rate to see how voltage/power responds), useful for testing maximum power output of a power supply or solar cell * Optional 500 watt and 1,000 watt amplifiers Accuracy and Precision for Demanding Applications * Remote voltage sensing for higher testing accuracy * * On-board computer performs accurate measurement with 12-bit effective resolution. Auto ranging for two current ranges and three voltages * Each CBA is individually calibrated with a computerized calibration system * Calibration certification data provided with CBA V Pro * SDK for developing your own scripts or programming * TTL UART port that can be controlled by an Arduino, Raspberry PI, or other embedded system with a TTL serial port Built-in Safety Features Provide Superior Battery Protection * Improved cooling system allowing higher continuous loads for testing * * Additional LED status indications * * Fuse blown LED and easy to change fuses * * 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 * Timed discharge test (stop discharge once certain Ah has been reached) * Dynamic test (alter test current using panel on the side of the software, without having to stop and start a new test) * 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 Free Standard Software for Data Analysis * 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., and watts * User can set the criteria for "Easy-Go/No-Go" testing * 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 * Manage individual tests on any number of CBA V units connected to the same PC * Software has no limit on number of CBA Vs that can be attached (CBA II/CBA III required multiple unit license) * Extended Software Upgrade License unlocks features for serious battery testing
