Cadex C5100
Special Features
The C5100 Battery Testing System has been designed for the retail user. Simple and fast but providing tremendous value through a number of special features.
C5100 Battery Analyzer
- Proprietary QuickSort™ Technology
- 30 Seconds to Sort Good/Low/Poor State of Health (SoH)
- Charge capability for when there is less than 40% State
of Charge (SoC)
- Boost function to “Wake Up” batteries with protection circuits triggered
- Cycle test provides numerical capacity value if needed
BatteryStore™ Software
- Provide your customers with a receipt or service report customized for your business
- Record, analyze, and export your battery test results to see how much money you are saving
- Initiate and control battery testing from your PC
- Import key battery information from the Cadex Battery Database
RigidArm™ Universal Battery Adapter
- Universal battery adapter suitable for most battery types
- Allows multiple mounting orientations
- New design with increased robustness
The RigidArm™ is designed for easy connection of cell phone batteries. Spring-loaded arms lock in position to allow quick and accurate setup for repetitive testing. A retractable floor holds batteries vertically or horizontally; adjustable magnetic battery guides are included. Banana plugs offer easy polarity selection; temperature sensor ensures safe operation. The RigidArm™ can be exchanged with
configured adapters.
QuickSort™ Technology
- QuickSort is a rapid 30 second test that classifies the State of Health (SoH) of batteries using a patented analysis technique
- Sorts batteries into three categories:

- Single cell lithium-ion (3.6V/3.7V) batteries with capacities in the range of 500-1500 mAh
- Accurate more than 90% of the time **
** A 2010 independent study of 5000 batteries determined that QuickSort correctly classified battery SoH, 96.4% of the time
Wake Up Dead Batteries Using the “Boost” Function
- If a cell phone battery is discharged too far, its internal protection circuits will trigger and the battery will no longer accept a charge – to the user it appears to be “dead”
- A 2-minute “Boost” will reactivate the battery
- After charging, most reactivated batteries will continue to operate normally for the rest of their useful life
Protection triggered
The C5100 Series is covered by US patent 7,072,871:
