Capabilities
Perform Fast, High Power Testing
- Test at 5 times the power with a CBA amplifier in between a CBA and your battery
- 500 watt discharge with a single amp and a CBA
- 1000 watt discharge with two amplifiers, a harness and a CBA
- 2000 watt discharge with four 20X* amplifiers, a harness and a CBA
- Designed for commercial or industrial use
- Test a Lithium cell at up to 120 amps / 500 watts with a single amplifier
- Test a Nickel cell at 160 amps regulated down to .9 volts with a single amplifier
- Test batteries at or near their current and temperature limits
- Support for operation with one or more CBA 500 watt amplifiers and CBA V or CBA IV (CBA III units require Extended license)
* 20X amplifiers are a special order item.
Test at Real World Load Conditions
- Increases 100 watt continuous capability of CBA to 500 watts
- Discharge rates at up to 500 watts or 160 amps maximum, whichever is higher
- High voltage testing at up to 55 volts; the equivalent of 1 to 38 NiCad or NiMh cells
Extended Software License Unlocks Features for Serious Battery Testing
- 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
Easy-to-Use 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, 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 USB flash drive
* Requires optional temperature probe

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.
