Battery Solutions for Aviation
Aviation batteries must meet strict performance, safety, and transportation requirements.
Cadex helps airlines, maintenance teams, manufacturers, and logistics providers assess battery health, confirm state of charge, and prepare batteries for safe, compliant shipment.
Challenges
Common battery issues that affect aviation safety, compliance, and operational efficiency.
Shipping Non-Compliance
Incorrect state of charge can lead to rejected shipments, penalties, and added liability.
Inaccurate State of Charge
Voltage alone may not provide a reliable indication of true battery state of charge.
Battery Degradation
Aging or damaged batteries may create safety risks during storage, transport, or operation.
Manual Processing
Slow, error-prone workflows reduce throughput and make compliance records difficult to maintain.
Smart-battery lifecycle
From battery data to fleet-level decisions
SMBus-enabled aviation batteries, Cadex diagnostic chargers and CadexCloud form a plug-and-play ecosystem that makes battery state-of-function visible from service entry to retirement.
80%
Typical capacity target
A practical starting point that can be adjusted for mission requirements.
10–20%
Expected reserve
Leftover charge before charging helps validate that the selected reserve fits the duty cycle.
3 levels
Standalone to cloud
Start with charger indicators, add detailed host views, then connect records across the fleet.
SoF
State-of-function
Bring charge, capacity fade and reserve into one decision-ready view.
At the charger
Act on clear status
Green confirms the battery is ready. Amber calls for calibration before it returns to service.
On the host

The Fishbowl view combines state of charge, capacity fade and the Target Selector into one visual summary.
Across the fleet
Plan replacements
CadexCloud preserves battery histories and helps supervisors identify packs approaching retirement capacity.
Minimum Operational Reserve Energy
Set the reserve that fits the mission
The Target Selector defines the minimum usable capacity required for service. A typical 80% setting can be raised for more reserve or relaxed where economics and lower-duty assignments permit.
Battery Endurance Loop
Use every battery fully—without waiting for failure
When capacity falls below the target, calibration attempts to restore the battery. If the target can no longer be met, the pack can be replaced or reassigned to a less demanding duty.
Measure → Calibrate → Return to service → Replace before failure
