Cadex Presents New Quicktest Battery Analyzer

December 16, 2001 by Jeff Shepard

Cadex Electronics Inc. (Richmond, BC) introduced the new Quicktest battery analyzer that measures the state-of-health of a battery in three minutes. Based on inference technology, the Cadex Quicktest uses battery-specific matrices that are derived through a "trend-learning" process using artificial intelligence. The ability to self-learn enables the system to adapt to new battery chemistries without changing hardware.

The Cadex Quicktest is available on the Cadex 7200 two-station and the Cadex 7400 four-station battery analyzer/ reconditioners. The system accommodates lithium-ion, NiMH, NiCd and lead-acid

batteries; the required charge level is 20 to 90 percent. If outside this range, the analyzer automatically applies a brief charge or discharge. The matrix is stored in

the battery adapters that contain the battery parameters to configure the analyzer.
