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
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

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.
