West Mountain Radio CBA V (5) PRO 100 V

mprovement/Enhancement on CBA V

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 CD ROM
• 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)
