Capabilities

Scientifically Analyze Battery Performance

  • 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 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

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 2 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 USB flash drive
  • 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)

Archived - Batttery Analyser CBA IV(discontinued)

CBA IV
Specifically designed to test and evaluate small cells and batteries – those capable of supplying quite low
discharge currents. Such small cells must be evaluated using even greater measurement precision than what
is capable with CBA IV model. Designed to precisely test virtually any small size battery, any chemistry or
number of cells, from 0.7 to 10 volts. The CBA HR is capable of testing batteries at load currents from 1 mA to
1000 mA, (10 watt maximum), in increments of 1 mA.
An optional 4-wire test harness improves voltage measurement accuracy by minimizing the voltage sensing
lead wire resistance effect. Some optional harnesses also include an external magnetic probe, which when
used with optional Extended Software allow logging of battery / ambient temperature and automatic overtemperature
test cutoff.
Standard Software is supplied with the CBA HR. In addition to the four basic test modes included with the
CBA IV (Mission Profile, Discharge, Charge Monitor, and Power Profile), the CBA HR adds two additional test
modes (Duty Cycle and Multiple Discharge) to allow user simulation of real world battery load variations found
in typical remote sensor sleep / transmit applications.
The optional Extended Software license provides the ability to graph battery temperature when the optional
magnetic temperature probe is connected. This optional temperature probe is included in selected test harness
assemblies and is connected to the CBA HR via a 3.5mm accessory input.
The CBA HR is not designed to be used with optional West Mountain Radio 500 watt CBA Amplifiers. For
higher test currents and voltages that exceed the CBA HR’s ratings – use the West Mountain Radior CBA IV,
which can accommodate one or more 500W Amplifiers.
