WEST MOUNTAIN RADIO CBA IV Computerised Battery Analyser

SGD 245.90

New!
The West Mountain Radio CBA IV Computerised Battery Analyser takes the guesswork out of using batteries and it will help you learn about batteries. The CBA is much more than a simple battery voltage tester or a battery load tester. The CBA will test virtually any type or size of battery, any chemistry or number of cells, up to 55 volts. Now anyone can do scientific tests of their batteries for a reasonable price.

Capabilties

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 *

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; the equivalent of 1 to 38 NiCad or NiMh cells
  • Optional 500 watt and 1000 watt amplifiers

Accuracy and Precision for Demanding Applications

  • 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 IV Pro

Built-in Safety Features Provide Superior Battery Protection

  • 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.

Easy-to-Use 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, watts and temperature (requires optional temperature probe)
  • 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

Extended Software Upgrade License Unlocks Features for Serious Battery Testing

  • Power profile to characterize batteries, power supplies and solar cells
  • 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
  • Multiple unit testing (each requires Extended License to access)
