Scanners
How much downtime can you afford?
Battery maintenance is inexpensive to implement and contributes significantly to system reliability and your bottom line.- Diminishing batteries are one of the leading causes of portable scanner failure. Countless dollars are lost annually to battery-related costs.
- To ensure they will last a full shift batteries for portable scanning devices should be replaced when their capacity drops to 60%-70%.
- An effective battery maintenance program will save you time and money
Products
Battery Maintenance Systems featuring the C7x00 family of analyzers allow users to test, track, label, and maintain fleets of batteries to ensure their equipment is always ready to go and save money on unnecessary battery replacements.ALL-IN-ONE BUNDLES

UNIVERSAL CONDITIONING CHARGERS
The Cadex Universal Conditioning Chargers (UCC) offer refinements usually not found on competitive chargers. The rugged design stands up to the critical demands of industrial users. Intelligent adapters allow simultaneous service of nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal-hydride and lithium-ion batteries on the same platform. A conditioning button conditions and calibrates batteries on demand, and a reverse-pulse charging prolongs battery life. Part Numbers: 11-300-0610 (UCC6) 11-300-0220 (UCC2) 11-300-0120 (UCC1) |
Features
Test and Maintenance Programs for Portable Scanner Fleets
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.Application Notes
Battery Maintenance for Portable Scanners
Battery maintenance is inexpensive to implement and contributes significantly to system reliability and your bottom line.How much downtime can you afford?
Diminishing batteries are one of the leading causes of portable scanner failure. Countless dollars are lost annually to battery-related hard and soft costs.The need to replace batteries or recharge a device during an employee’s work-shift results in substantial incremental costs to a company. For example, if an employee changes batteries twice in a shift, a loss of 20 minutes per day can equal thousands of dollars per year in lost productivity.
Adequate power is essential in order to ensure maximum equipment performance and reliability.
Simply put, downtime should not be an option.

Ensure maximum battery performance
To ensure they will last a full shift, batteries for portable scanning devices should be replaced when the capacity drops to between 60% and 70%.Cadex analyzers assist in determining when batteries have low capacity so they can be removed from the fleet. Bad batteries often charge faster and will not last long despite indicating a “ready” state green light indication from the charger.
We offer custom battery adapters for all popular brands such as:
How to Keep Your Scanner Batteries Healthy
- Strategically place batteries and battery chargers to enhance workflow
- Use battery analyzers as a part of your daily routine to determine recharge rates
- Retire batteries when they can no longer last a work shift
- Save money by labeling batteries to track when they need to be replaced
