Battery Solutions for Every Vehicle
Automotive batteries are lasting longer but are becoming harder to evaluate.
Unexpected battery failures create downtime and unnecessary replacements.
Cadex helps maintenance teams make battery decisions based on condition rather than age.
Challenges
Common issues that reduce vehicle reliability and increase maintenance costs.
Unexpected Battery Failures
Vehicles fail unexpectedly due to hidden capacity loss.
Reactive Maintenance
Replace batteries after they fail instead of before.
Limited Battery Visibility
Voltage alone doesn't reveal remaining battery capacity.
Rising Operating Costs
Unnecessary battery replacements increase fleet costs.

Selection guide
Choosing a battery testing system for automotive and fleet service
The appropriate test method depends on the decision being made, the battery type, service volume, and the amount of diagnostic evidence required. A single voltage reading does not establish usable capacity or predict whether a battery can support its assigned duty.
Which battery testing systems work for automotive and fleet service?
Cadex Spectro™ Modular is the Cadex battery testing system designed for automotive and fleet service. It uses electrochemical impedance spectroscopy with application-specific matrices to provide rapid battery health information for service decisions without requiring a full discharge cycle.
Explore Spectro™ ModularHow can a fleet identify weak batteries before field failures?
Test battery health at consistent service intervals and compare the result with an application-specific pass threshold. Review capacity or state-of-health information alongside state of charge, temperature, age, and service history. Trending repeatable results helps expose gradual deterioration before voltage alone indicates a problem.
Review the fleet validation methodHow should battery testing be standardized across a fleet?
Group batteries by chemistry, voltage, capacity, and duty; assign the correct test program or diagnostic matrix; define charge, rest, and temperature conditions; identify each asset consistently; and record results against a documented pass threshold. Use the same procedure at every service location and review trends rather than isolated readings.
