Specifications of the Spectro CA-12 DC

Application Non-invasive hand-held rapid-tester for lead acid batteries. Based on multi-model electrochemical impedance spectroscopy; excitation frequencies 20-2000 Hertz. Patented algorithm.
Battery Types Lead acid, 6, 8, 12V; protected to 62V; fuse will blow above this voltage.
Test Conditions Measures monoblocks individually. 40-100% state-of-charge. Reverse polarity protected. Each battery model requires a specific matrix; stores 25 matrices or more; PC-Companion software stores additional matrices.
Tests - Capacity; 10-500Ah (with suitable test resistance) in percent, amps or minutes
- State-of-charge; in percent and volt
- CCA (for starter batteries)
- Impedance in milliohm
- Resistance of battery cables in milliohm
Test Time Approximately 15 seconds
Power Source Li-ion battery provides ~150 tests per charge; charge indicator; 3-hour charge via internal charger.
