CBA IV PRO West Mountain Radio Computerised Battery Analyser + Software calibration data and extra features

CBA IV PRO West Mountain Radio Computerised Battery Analyser

Software calibration data and extra features
The CBA IV PRO is a computerised battery analyser capable of scientifically and accurately analysing any type of battery from coin cells to automotive batteries. Calibrated and tested to accuracy levels of <1% Amp load, <0.5% Volts. Features:

* 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 with presets for NiCd, NiMH, Lead Acid, LiIon, LiPo, Alkaline, Carbon Zinc, Mercury and other battery chemistries.

* Solar cell profiling capability – the ability to sweep the solar panel, by varying the load, to see how the panel reacts.

* Lower current testing capabilities – down to 10 mA

* 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; the equivalent of 1 to 38 NiCd or NiMH cells.

* 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.

* 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

* 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, watts and temperature (Requires optional temperature probe and extended software)

* 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
