C5100B Battery Analyzer
The C5100B removes the guesswork of low runtimes in a mobile phone. Testing the battery gives the user a clear assessment of battery performance in 4 minutes.
Batteries are blamed for most mobile phone problems. The fault is often outside the battery and the C5100B serves as a diagnostic tool. Customers appreciate straight answers and storefront testing obliges them to return with trust.

Overview
elegant solution for storefronts
Mobile phone users have been asking for better storefront services and battery testing fills this need in part. On a customer’s complaint saying, “my phone does not hold charge,” the C5100B may give a battery a clean bill of health, prompting to look for other anomalies, such as high current drain. Some customers may need to adjust to realistic runtimes expectations when running power-robbing apps; battery swapping won’t help. |
What's new with the cadex c5100b?
As part of continued improvements, Cadex engineers have achieved remarkable advancements in battery rapid-test technology. The C5100B can now test mobile phone batteries up to 4,000mAh with a common parameter. This eliminates the selection of battery-specific Q-codes.

Description
the secret behind QuickSort™
QuickSort 4 (QS4) uses Electrochemical Dynamic Response with Multi-dimensional Normalization to sort Li-ion batteries into Good and Poor. QS4 does not use Q-codes but requires entering battery capacity and voltage. The pass/fail capacity can be selected from 60–90% Test time is 4 minutes. Low charge and capacity-loss appear similar. The patent pending QS4 separates these two characteristics and reads capacity with state-of-charge of 20–100%. |
Simple operation
Three action keys make the operation intuitive:
|
qs4 vs. software app
As an alternative, apps are available that provide SoC and SoH estimations in mobile phones. These software solutions appear to work at first but inaccuracies develop once the device is broken in. This coincides with aging once the unit has been in use for a while when battery fade become apparent. QS4 takes a "snapshot" of the chemical battery to give a true picture of battery SoH, unencumbered of peripheral readings that lose the ability to track the battery over time. |
RigidArm™
The universal RigidArm™ Adapter allows easy connection to mobile phone batteries. Spring-loaded arms lock in the upright position for quick loading, a retractable floor holds batteries vertically, and temperature sensor ensures safe operation.
The Cadex C5100B also accepts custom SnapLock™ adapters. (The limited power of the C5100B may prolong service.) List of SnapLock™ Battery Adapters |

smartconnect for smartphones
Some smartphones have non-removable batteries, but these also need testing. The C5100B enables access with the SmartConnect and FlexStrip. With open device, unplug the battery cable from the phone socket and insert it into a fitting socket on the FlexStrip. This enables testing without removing the battery. The package comes with the SmartConnect and two FlexStrips, one serving as spare, to service these devices:

awaking sleeping LI-ION BATTERIES
Batteries often fail due to over-discharge. Boost reactivates “sleeping” batteries and returns them to full service. Hold the TEST key to initialize BOOST. Follow instructions. Test sample: Of 294 returned batteries, 91% reached 80% and higher capacities; 30% needed Boost |
