Features

AN OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD BATTERY ANALYZER

CREATED FOR ADVANCED USERS

The Cadex C8000 delivers the versatility needed to ensure you get the right performance from the batteries used in your applications. The C8000 is a multi-purpose tool that allows you to optimize batteries at every stage of product life.

BORN VERSATILE

YOUR LAB SWISS KNIFE

Choose the right battery by simulating a device. Characterize the battery thanks to Life Cycle Testing. Monitor quality and performance with Custom Programming. Maintain your batteries with built-in Service Programs

C8000 Advanced Battery Testing System

THE ULTIMATE

BATTERY LAB TOOL

Capture load signatures of power tools and laptops and then perform simulated battery runtime by replaying the stored data. Or add a thermal chamber, external load bank and other accessories.

THE SKY

IS THE LIMIT

When you acquire a C8000, you’re getting one of the most advanced and flexible battery analyzers in the industry. Create your own lab system and transform your C8000 into the command center

SERVICE PROGRAMS

AUTO

Exercises batteries and applies recondition if the user-set target capacity cannot be reached (nickel-based batteries)

CHARGE

Applies fast charge; terminates charge when the battery is full; applies trickle charge (depending on battery chemistry)

PRIME

Prepares batteries for field use by repeated cycling until maximum capacity is reached

EXTENDED PRIME

Applies 16-hour trickle charge prior to Prime. Prepares difficult to charge batteries

BOOST

Activates seemingly dead batteries

RAPID TESTS

OHMTEST™

Measure battery resistance with DC pulses (based on IEC61436), 13 seconds

IMPEDANCE

Measures battery resistance with 1000Hz signal. (Channel 1 only)

ADVANCED PROGRAMS

WAVEFORM TESTS

GSM, CDMA or customized tests

RUN TIME

Allows three different discharge levels, programmable in hours and minutes

LIFE CYCLE

Cycles battery until end-of-life

SELF-DISCHARGE

Measures self-discharge

DISCHARGE ONLY

For storage, test applications

C8000 ANALYZER

The Cadex C8000 is intuitive to use and requires minimal training. Chemistry-specific programs provide safe operation for all major battery types.

Take advantage of a large selection of standard programs or create your own custom routine to meet your exact testing requirement.

POWERFUL SOFTWARE

PC-BATTERYLAB™

Cadex PC-BatteryLab™ provides a simple, yet powerful interface to control and monitor the C8000. With a PC, the control shifts from the analyzer’s front panel to the PC.

Start programming by entering the battery parameters or choose a battery from the existing built-in database. PC-BatteryLab™ will display the test results using real-time graphics.

AT A GLANCE

  • Operates up to eight C8000 Analyzers = 32 batteries
  • Control and monitor your tester from a PC
  • Allows custom program development
  • Readings and graphic results in real time
  • Manage and print results
  • Compatible with Windows XP or later

UP TO THE HIGHEST STANDARD

We have nothing but good things to say about the C8000. We are probably approaching 2,000 battery tests (at an average of >16 hours per test) over the past couple of years. We pretty much run the units 24/7. None of our production units ship without a 100% test and review of battery performance. The database and simple search functions of the BatteryLab program are well utilized as well.
