A new product is available from West Mountain Radio, the Computerized Battery Analyzer or CBA for short. Unlike a simple load tester the CBA does a constant current test of virtually ANY type or size of battery measuring the capacity in amp-hrs and graphically displaying test graphs on a standard USB Windows computer.
The CBA will test literally ANY battery up to 48 volts, 40 amps or 150 watts, whichever is higher, and measure battery temperature with an optional temperature probe.
Battery test graphs can be displayed, saved, printed or overlaid and compared, test labels too. Anyone can look at the screen and instantly see the "personality" and performance of your batteries. Find out if you got what you paid for, see aging over time, match cells and compare packs. You may condition, rejuvenate and balance packs and instantly see the results.
A CBA is compact and ruggedly built, has a quiet fan and LED indicators. It comes supplied with USB cable and CD ROM. The CBA uses a microcontroller to measure with high accuracy. It has a solid state FET electronic load. The Windows plug-and-play USB interface makes it easy to connect and install. CBA software is easy and intuitive to use and designed so anyone can safely and easily do lab quality tests.
The CBA is a "must have" tool for anyone that depends on batteries. For the first time and for a reasonable price, anyone can easily perform and interpret scientific tests of their batteries.
