CBA IV

CBA IV - Computerized Battery Analyzer is no longer in production and has been replaced by CBA V.

Pro Unit Model

* Improvement/Enhancement on CBA IV

Capabilities

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) *

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 (CBA II/CBA III is only 48V); 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 max power output of a power supply or solar cell *
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
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 *

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

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 IV units connected to the same PC
Software has no limit on number of CBA IVs that can be attached (CBA II/CBA III required multiple unit license) *

Powerpole^® Connector Features & Benefits

Genderless Housings: Provide simplified assembly and minimize the number of components
Stackable Modular Housings: Available in four sizes to right size your connection need
Connection Versatility: Contacts for wire, PCB, or busbar all fit into the same housings
Low Resistance Connection: Silver or tin plated contacts inside housings that strongly force the contacts together
Color Coded Housings: Help ensure that connectors are assembled and mated correctly
Self Securing Design: Stainless steel springs create a robust force between the contacts that holds the connector in the mated condition, but allows it to be quickly disconnected.
