Features
- Improved channel charge/discharge current control accuracy, calibration and temperature compensation
- CE certification now standard with version 2 hardware
- Lifetime warranty now standard on all units (retroactive for version 1 customers)
- 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, up to +/-10,000 milli-Amps/Channel
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
