THE PROBLEM
Truck downtime often starts with a battery that looked acceptable
Trucks may carry heavy electrical loads, long duty cycles, and demanding restart conditions. A battery can still deliver cranking power while losing reserve capacity, creating risk between service intervals.
THE CADEX SOLUTION
Use capacity as the service trigger
Spectro CM-24 assesses capacity, CCA, and state-of-charge through a 30-second non-invasive test. For truck starter batteries, the pass/fail level is usually set around 50%, giving maintenance teams a practical threshold for replacement before failure.
HOW IT WORKS
A battery test that fits fleet maintenance
The system uses Multi-Model EIS to scan the battery and compare it with a matrix. Test results can be shown as numbers and graphics, stored locally, printed, or shared in CadexCloud with VINs, vehicle numbers, work orders, and battery history.
WHY IT MATTERS
Cranking strength is not the whole picture
The truck source carries forward the founder message that capacity fade is a common failure mode and that CCA testing alone can miss batteries approaching end of useful life.
