Cadex - Battery Maintenance Systems

A complete battery maintenance system allows you to:

• Prime batteries prior to use in your equipment
• Test batteries to ensure they will perform when needed
• Track batteries to optimize their use in your fleet and replace them only when necessary
• Label batteries to allow users to know that that they have are using a good battery

Proper battery maintenance will result in:

• Improved safety and reliability
• Lower battery costs
• Higher productivity

SECURITY CODE SAFEGUARDS AGAINST TAMPERING
The C7000 Series offers password protection. Being able to lock the analyzer minimizes staff training and prevents unauthorized changes of critical settings. The analyzer offers three security levels.

PERFORMS BATTERY LIFECYCLE TESTS
The Lifecycle test program automatically cycles a battery to the end-of-life, recording capacity, internal resistance, temperature and other parameters through PC-BatteryShop™ as the battery is being stressed. A counter indicates the number of charge/discharge cycles the battery can endure before the battery capacity drops to the preset target level. Varying the end-of-discharge voltage threshold enables different depth-of-discharge conditions.   

REVERSE LOAD CHARGE IMPROVES CHARGE EFFICIENCY
A nickel-based battery combines oxygen and hydrogen more easily if the charge is applied in pulse form with a brief discharge pulse interspersed in between the pulses. The Reverse Load Charge feature of the C7000 Series uses the method to improve charge efficiency, reduce memory and increase battery life.   

ADJUSTABLE TARGET CAPACITY SETS BATTERY PASS/FAIL CRITERIA
The Target Capacity allows customizing performance criteria. Increasing the threshold above 80% produces tighter tolerances; lower settings provide longer service life with less stringent performance standards.   

RECONDITION RESTORES NICKEL-BASED BATTERIES
Capacity loss on nickel-based batteries is often reversible with a discharge cycle to 1V/cell (Exercise). In many cases, Exercise alone is not sufficient and Recondition is required. Recondition is a deep discharge that dissolves the crystalline formation or memory. The chart shows the capacity gain achieved on batteries with memory. A further improvement was possible on a new battery.    Battery Capacity

STANDBY MODE KEEPS BATTERIES FRESH
Nickel-based batteries should not sit in chargers for any length of time. This poses a problem if the batteries are needed for operational readiness. The Standby mode of the C7000 Series automatically cycles a battery every 30 days to prevent memory. The LCD displays the last four capacity readings while retaining the original reading as reference. Only one battery of a multi-analyzer system is put on discharge at any given time.
