Cadex C8000 Battery Test Systems
Research and Development
Batteries are becoming the lifeline of society and optimal performance is critical. The Cadex C8000 helps in selecting the right packs for the job and assuring long life. You can test batteries with GSM pulses, capture load signatures for simulated load tests, check battery safety circuits and read SMBus registers. Combining these features with an affordable price puts the Cadex C8000 into a class by itself.

Performs battery lifecycle tests
The Lifecycle test program automatically cycles a battery to the end-of-life, recording capacity, internal resistance, temperature and other parameters through PC-BatteryShop™. A counter indicates the number of charge/discharge cycles before the battery capacity drops to a preset target level.
Varying the end-of-discharge voltage threshold enables different depth-of-discharge conditions.

Tests batteries under GSM, TDMA, CDMA
The Cadex C8000 allows simulating load conditions of wireless communications devices; programmable in 50us steps. Verifies runtime and cycle life of various battery types.


Custom Adapters
Captures and stores load signatures
The Cadex C8000 captures and stores load signatures of a power tool by drilling through a steel beam. Applying the load will determine how many holes a given battery can drill. Other load captures include spinning up a hard drive on a laptop or accelerating an electric motor.


Custom Adapters

Tests function of a charger
The Cadex C8000 tests battery chargers by substituting the battery with a programmable current and voltage source. Verifies function and correct charge termination.



Custom Adapters

Tests safety circuit of a battery
The C8000 identifies high and low battery cut-off points by raising and lowering a simulated voltage. Checks safety circuits of lithium-ion and intrinsically safe batteries.



Custom Adapters

Smart Battery testing
The Cadex C8000 services SMBus batteries by reading and displaying the register settings of most digital circuits. Assists in the design by reading the flags and verify correct function.
