Features:
  • 200 Watts of battery analyzer power delivered through four independent channels by the click of a mouse on your Windows PC
  • 400 Watts maximum power capability in teeter-todder fashion when 200 Watts charge while 200 Watts discharge simultaneously
  • Full speed USB 2.0 interface that supports more than 100 battery analyzers and over 400 channels simultaneously
  • Microsoft Windows interface with integrated Access database support for battery management, analyzer configuration and test results
  • Graphical charting of data with zoom and pan features for easy viewing of test results and identifying battery performance and problems
  • Services all rechargeable battery chemistries up to 36 Volts and up to 200 Amp hour in size
Additional Features:
  • Each channel has internal non-volatile memory for saving test results of 64 service records
  • Analyzer can run independent of PC/USB connection for up to 64 records, after which USB uploading is required to free up memory before proceeding
  • Data point recording of voltage, current and temperature at every 0.5% rated capacity increment for up to 224 points or 112% maximum
  • Battery test data is automatically downloaded and organized into Access database filing system according to each battery unique serial number
  • Smart battery SMBus read capability on each channel
  • High speed data logging and pulse discharge loading to simulate variable loads on battery performance
  • Each channel provides for voltmeter gain calibration as a function of current to accommodate long test lead connections
  • Each channel provides for entry of nominal thermistor resistance values from 1-100k and associated polynomial factors A, B, C, D
  • Switch-mode power supply technology converts power from channels on discharge into power used for channels on charge
  • World wide AC input power factor corrected power supply operates from 90 - 260 VAC
  • Service records are time stamped with start date, start time, and elapsed time of service
  • Internal real time clock keeps time when PC is unavailable
  • Test records can be saved as text files and imported into Excel or other spreadsheet software for custom presentation and reporting
Analyzer Functions:
  • Charge - Charges the battery
  • Discharge - Discharges the battery
  • Life Cycle - Performs repeated discharge/charge cycles on the battery until capacity falls below percent target or up to 10k cycles
  • Ohm Test - Charges and then discharges the battery while recording the voltage and internal resistance in milli-Ohms at every 0.5% rated capacity
  • Prime - New batteries and batteries from storage are cycled to achieve normal function
  • Quick Test - Determines the approximate condition of a battery within 10-60 minutes, maximum 2 hours
  • Recondition - A deep discharge and cell balancing initiative is applied to revive nickel cadmium and nickel metal hydride batteries; a conditioning cycle is performed on lead acid and lithium-ion battery types
  • Reactivate - Resets smart batteries to start working again
  • Test DC - Battery is Discharged, Charged
  • Test DCD - Battery is Discharged, Charged, Discharged
  • Test DCDC - Battery is Discharged, Charged, Discharged, Charged
  • Test CD - Battery is Charged, Discharged
  • Test CDC - Battery is Charged, Discharged, Charged
  • Test CDCD - Battery is Charged, Discharged, Charged, Discharged
