Spectro CA-12

Assesses battery capacity in 30 seconds with non-invasive EIS technology. A workflow tool that assures battery performance between service on capacity

Spectro CA-12

Non-invasive battery tester Spectro reads capacity with multi-model electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).  A 'pass' gives a grace period; 'fail' requests replacement even though cranking may still be strong.

  • Reads lead acid and Li-ion
  • Unit stays cool during test
  • Range 12V, 25-100 Ah
  • Reads capacity, the leading health indicator

Spectro Technology

Spectro™ estimates battery capacity by taking a mirror image of the battery in Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). 

The test is non-invasive and takes about 30 seconds.

EIS resembles face recognition

Complex EIS modeling assesses capacity, CCA and SoC

Frequency scan produces a Nyquist plot that is modeled against a matrix to extract battery capacity, CCA and SoC. Test accuracy is governed by the matrix.

U.S. patent 7,072,871,
U.S. patent 6,778,913

Automotive Applications

Spectro™ verifies starter batteries at ports, checks warranty and provides after-sales service. Capacity is the leading heath indicator.

Modus Operandi

Select battery chemistry and enter voltage, capacity and CCA.
The battery must have a minimal state-of-charge of 50%.
