The world’s most versatile, cost effective,easy-to-use battery management system
Fast, Simple and Efficient — The Cadex C7000 Series analyzer’s service batteries through innovative test and restoration methods. SnapLock adapters accommodate all major batteries; specialty batteries connect by cables that can be programmed with the analyzer’s menu function. Operation is simple; little or no training is needed.
Specialty programs serve unique battery needs: Quicktest™ measures battery state-of-health in three minutes regardless of charge; Boost wakes up batteries with low voltage; Prime forms new batteries and Auto restore batteries that fall below the target capacity. Four ampere per station reduces service time for larger batteries. An optional printer generates service reports and battery labels.
Computerize battery testing — Cadex Batteryshop™ forms an integrated system between analyzer’s and a PC. The software assists mobile phone dealers in simplifying battery testing — managers of large battery fleets in performing the periodic maintenance — and battery manufacturers in meeting consistent quality standards.
Choose from over 2000 battery models and program the analyzer with a simple mouse click. Scanning the battery’s model number, if a bar code is available, also programs the analyzer. The test results can be displayed on screen in real time graphs and printed in customized reports. Batteryshop™ is equally proficient supporting one analyzer or a fully extended system of 120 units.
Cadex Batteryshop™ Software
Voltage, current and temperature are shown in real-time graphics, which can be printed in customized formats. Point and click technology allows programming the analyzer.
Why batteries need more than charging…
- Eighty percent of batteries returned under warranty can be restored with a battery analyzer. The savings are in the millions.
- All batteries gradually lose capacity. Battery analyzer’s identify low capacity batteries and restore them to full service or weed them out. In addition, battery analyzer’s double the life of Ni-Cd batteries. The payback is typically less than one year.
How can Cadex 7000 Series analyzer’s help?
If you experience any of the following problems, the Cadex analyzer is of benefit:
- No provision to check and restore returned warranty batteries.
- Experience shorter than expected battery service life.
- Batteries fail prematurely, even after a full charge.
- Unable to pinpoint good and bad batteries.

Key Benefits of the Cadex 7200 and 7400 over competitive Battery Analyzer’s
- Supports all five battery chemistries: NiCd, NiMH, SLA, Lithium ion and Li-Polymer. Units are easily upgraded over the PC and special adapters are not required for Li-Ion batteries. Some competitors do not support Li-ion nor allow field upgrades.
- Batteries are serviced against preset voltage and capacity and using proper charge algorithms. Some competitors use a ‘one-fits-all’ setting that does not provide high accuracy.
- Tests batteries 2 to 3 times faster than other analyzer’s using C-rate programmable charge currents for accuracy. Some competitors use a fixed charge/discharge current, regardless of battery size leading to longer service time and less accurate results.
- Cadex Analyzer’s use the QuickTest program providing the State of Health in 5 minutes – this provides the fastest throughput analyzer on the market.
- Over 800 easy to insert Battery Adapters simplify battery connection. Some competitors have a limited variety of adapters, require technical expertise to change them. Almost all require special adapters for Li-Ion batteries. Some are not able to service Li-Ion batteries or Li-Polymer batteries.
- Each Battery Adapter can be programmed to 10 unique C-codes to service all batteries of same footprint. Some competitors require a different adapter for each battery.
- The battery information is stored in the adapter for optimum flexibility. Stored information includes: chemistry, voltage, mAh rating, charge/discharge rates, charge method, end-of-discharge, etc. Competitors put these settings permanently into the analyzer so they cannot be changed.
- All battery parameters are user-programmable through the analyzer’s keypad. Most competitors offer fixed settings.
- Automated programs optimise operation. For example: Quicktest provides the State of Health in 5 minutes, Prime prepares a battery for field use; Auto restores weak batteries. Our competitors offer only discharge/charge cycles and the more advanced competitors provide Prime or Condition functions which are only several charge discharge cycles.
- Target Capacity setting allows automated battery service. Batteries that do not meet the set target are automatically reconditioned when in Auto mode. Our competitors do not offer this unique feature.
- Capacity is shown in percentage of the nominal battery rating. Our competitors indicate the capacity in mAh, requiring the user to be familiar with the rating of each battery type serviced and to manually calculate if the capacity is acceptable.
- Recondition mode commonly restores nickel-based batteries to full service using a very deep discharge below the battery end of discharge voltage to dissolve memory formation. Our competitors classify these batteries as dead because they do not offer this feature. Competitors tend to use the word Recondition which is the same as the Cadex PRIME program – these are several charge and discharge cycle primarily used to condition new batteries for field use.
- Unique, proprietary QuickTest checks battery condition and provides the state of health in five minutes using fuzzy logic algorithms. Our competitors do not offer this powerful feature and are unable to recreate it.
- Boost enlivens dead batteries or batteries with very low voltage to allowing them to be charged. Competitors do not offer this feature.
- Reverse Load Charge reduces gas buildup, keeps battery cool during service, optimises battery performance and prolongs battery life. Some competitors use only DC charge.
- Detects over 30 fault codes and spells out anomalies in English providing a comprehensive method of quality assurance testing and fault tracking. Our competitors do not go into such detail.
- Prints detailed service reports and labels to serial and parallel printers. Some competitors need a PC to run a printer and only provide brief information.
- Data Retention resumes service after power failure. Our competitors do not offer this feature.
- Batteryshop™ software provides a simple yet powerful PC network interface to control and monitor up to 120 Cadex C7000 battery analyzer’s Its database contains over 2000 battery models with pre-programmed test algorithms, stores service information and tracks battery usage and aids preparing battery budgets. Our competitors do not offer network software, neither do they provide a battery database.
- Three-year warranty. Most competitors offer shorter warranties.
