Battery Analyzer Cadex C7200 – C7400

Description

C7200 BATTERY ANALYZER (40 WATTS)

The two-station Cadex C7200 suits smaller organizations and storefront operations. 40 watts of charge power at 4 amps per station ensure quick service of larger batteries. This economical analyzer offers similar features to the larger C7400.  

• Battery voltage range 1.2 to 15V
• Charge/discharge current up to 4A per station
• Maximum charge power 40 watts per station
• Maximum discharge power 35 watts

C7400 BATTERY ANALYZER (80 WATTS)

With four-stations and 80 watts of charge power, the Cadex C7400 is most economical in terms of cost per station. The extra stations increase throughput and add flexibility in accommodating batteries that require immediate service.  

• Battery voltage range 1.2 to 15V
• Charge/discharge current up to 4A per station
• Maximum charge power 55 watts per station
• Maximum discharge power 35 watts

C7400ER BATTERY ANALYZER (170 WATTS)

The Cadex C7400ER is the most powerful of the C7000 Series battery analyzers. Six amps per station, service of 36 volt batteries and 170 watts of continous power satisfies most service requirements.

• Battery voltage range 1.2 to 36V (Li-ion)
• Charge/discharge current up to 6A per station
• Maximum charge power 75 watts per station
• Maximum discharge power 75 watts
• Part Number: 07-740-1100

The Cadex C7x00 Series battery analyzers are more than programmable power supplies to charge and discharge batteries; they assess the condition of a battery and provide intelligence to safely service them. Protected algorithms with redundant safety features identify a faulty battery and terminate the service with message when so needed.

The green light on the charger does not reflect battery performance. “Ready” simply indicates that the battery is fully charged. A battery should be replaced when the capacity drops to 70–80%. Most users are unaware of capacity fade until an unforeseen power loss occurs.  Nor should a battery be replaced too soon. The Cadex C7x00 Series battery analyzer enables to keep batteries for their optimal life span.

The C7x00 analyzer test batteries by a discharge/charge cycles or a rapid-test function. A full cycle is the most reliable method but it is not practical for large batteries. Rapid-testing is not available for all batteries.

REACTIVATING LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES*
Li-ion packs often fail due to over-discharge. At about 2.8V/cell, the protection circuit opens and the battery appears dead. Boost activates the circuit and brings the pack back to life. The service lasts a few minutes, but the battery should be full charged. * Of 294 returned batteries, 91% reached 80% and higher capacities; 30% needed Boost

THE 30-SECOND RAPID-TEST
QuickSort™ classifies single Li-ion cell of up to 1500mAh into Good, Low and Poor. Capacity is the leading health indicator; and Cadex’s proprietaryelectrochemical dynamic response method achieves a sort accuracy of 90-95%. Reading internal resistance to estimate battery health is no longer reliable; modern Li-ion keeps low resistance.

• Tests battery with 40% and higher charge
• Enables charging if the battery has less than the needed  charge level

TARGET CAPACITY SETS BATTERY PASS/FAIL
The target setting allows customizing performance needs to ensure adequate capacity levels for all fleet batteries. If below target, the Auto program reconditions a nickel-based battery with a deep discharge. Recondition reverses the “memory” effect.

• 90%: Maintains batteries for critical use. Fewer batteries will pass.
• 80%: Recommended (default) setting.
• 70%: For less stringent applications. More batteries will pass.

PROGRAMMABILITY
The C7x00 captures the battery parameters in a unique C-code that is stored in the battery adapter. Each adapter holds 10 C-codes that you can edit. You can also compose your own: The Basic C-code contains the rudimentary information; the Extended C-code revert to default setting unless changed manually.

CUSTOM PROGRAMS
The Custom programs turns the C7x000 into a laboratory instrument by allowing user-defined settings of charge, discharge, recondition, wait and repeat. You can set conditional gates that proceed on a different course if certain criteria are not met.

Prepare Battery for Storage, Shipment

LIFECYCLE TEST
This program assists in the selection of battery models and performs incoming inspection. The C7x00 analyzer also offers dynamic stress tests to examine batteries under different load levels. The programs are automated; PC-BatteryShop™ plots and stores the test results.

SECURITY SAFEGUARDS AGAINST TAMPERING
Password protection prevents unauthorized changes of settings. Level 1 allows minor changes and Level 2 inhibits most programming.

Automated programs support all your battery needs and the 18 available service programs are grouped below into Basic, Advanced and Custom.

BASIC PROGRAMS
 

• Auto – Exercises the batteries and applies Recondition if the user-set target capacity cannot be reached
• Charge – Applies a fast charge only
• Prime – Prepares batteries for field use by repeated cycling until the maximum capacity is reached
• QuickSort™ – Sorts lithium-ion packs into Good, Low and Poor in 30 seconds

ADVANCED PROGRAMS
 

• Self-Discharge – Determines the rate at which a battery loses charge
• Life Cycle – Counts number of charge/discharge cycles before the battery capacity drops to selected target level
• Discharge Only – Discharges battery for storage; tests chargers
• Extended Prime – Applies a 16-hour trickle charge, followed by Prime. Prepares difficult to charge batteries
• OhmTest – Measures internal battery resistance in 6 seconds
• Runtime – Simulates field application with three adjustable load currents and time intervals
• Boost – Reactivates seemingly dead batteries that have been discharged too low
• QuickTest™ – Provides battery state-of-health in 3 minutes. Needs specific battery matrix
• Q-Learn – Provides initial QuickTest™ matrix by scanning a good battery. Service time is 3-5 minutes
• Learn – Improves QuickTest™ matrix by scanning batteries with different state-of-health status. Service time is 3-8 hours per battery

CUSTOM PROGRAMS
Four separate Custom programs allow user-defined programs composed of charge, discharge, recondition, wait and repeats. The programs follow a different path if a certain condition occurs.

CUSTOM BATTERY ADAPTERS
Custom-built SnapLock™ adapters allow easy interface with commercial packs. The adapters contain C-codes that configure the analyzer to the correct setting. Each adapter can be programmed with 10 C-codes to service different battery types. Cadex offers over 1,500 custom adapters. If your adapter is not listed on our Battery Adapter Catalog, please contact us.

RIGIDARM™ UNIVERSAL ADAPTER
The RigidArm™ simplifies connecting small (e.g. cellular phone) batteries. Spring-loaded arms meet the battery contacts from the top down and lockable mechanism allows quick and repetitive testing. The retractable floor holds the battery in vertical or horizontal position. Part Number: 07-110-0192

FLEXARM™ UNIVERSAL ADAPTER
The Cadex FlexArm™ accommodates batteries when no custom adapter is on hand. The probes on the flexible arms reach small and awkwardly placed contacts. Magnetic guides keep the battery in position. A temperature sensor monitors the battery. The gold-plated contacts are user-replaceable. Part Number: 07-110-0180

SMART CABLE
The Cadex Smart Cable services larger batteries that are placed outside the unit. The temperature sensor attaches to the battery with a magnet. The alligator clips provide easy connection to batteries with protruding terminals. Part Number: 07-110-0115

LABEL PRINTER
Attaching a small battery label containing service date, due date and capacity reading simplifies battery management. The label printer connects directly to the analyzer or to a PC with BatteryShop™. AutoPrint automatically generates a label when the battery is removed. The labels are water resistant and do not smudge. Part Number: 00-004-3037

HANDHELD SCANNER
A barcode scanner allows you to scan battery labels to retrieve key information which is imported into our BatteryShop™ PC software. This information reports the historical battery service data and will configure the analyzer with the correct test and maintenance settings. Part Number: 92-770-0261
