West Mountain Radio CBA IV PRO

The CBA IV PRO is a computerised battery analyser capable of scientifically and accurately analysing any type of battery from coin cells to automotive batteries. Calibrated and tested to accuracy levels of <1% Amp load, <0.5% Volts.

Features:

• 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 with presets for NiCd, NiMH, Lead Acid, LiIon, LiPo, Alkaline, Carbon Zinc, Mercury and other battery chemistries.
• Solar cell profiling capability - the ability to sweep the solar panel, by varying the load, to see how the panel reacts.
• Lower current testing capabilities - down to 10 mA
• 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 NiCd or NiMH cells.
• Optional 500 watt and 1000 watt amplifiers.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 and extended software)
• 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

Optional Accessories:

The CBA IV PRO comes with powerpole to powerpole connection only. For use with other types of connectors, we recommend using CC20PP-150 to convert connector type to Deans style T-Plug, thus making the CBA IV PRO now compatible with the following output plugs (each sold separately):

• CC21-150 (JR/Futaba/Hitec Servo connector)
• CC22-150 (Female JST Red BEC connector)
• CC23-150 (Male Tamiya connector)
• CC24-150 (Small Tamiya Male Nikko ELP-02V connector)
• CC26-150 (Alligator clips)
