• Discharge current is software and electronically regulated using a solid state switch and fan cooled electronic load
• Test any type of battery; coin cell to automotive or larger. Presets for NiCad, NiMH, Lead Acid, Li Ion, Li Poly, Alkaline, Carbon Zinc, Mercury etc.
• Solar cell profiling capability*. Click here to view
• Lower current testing capabilities - down to 10 mA*
• Optional for Temperature Sensor 

Perform Fast, High Power Testing

• Tests quickly at real world load conditions, up to 150 watts or 40 amps maximum, whichever is higher
• High voltage testing at up to 55 volts; the equivalent of 1 to 38 NiCad or NiMh cells
• Optional 500 watt and 1000 watt amplifiers

Accuracy and Precision for Demanding Applications

• On-board computer performs accurate measurement with 12 bit effective resolution. Auto ranging for 2 current ranges and three voltages
• Each CBA is individually calibrated with a computerized calibration system
• Calibration certification data provided with CBA IV Pro

Built-in Safety Features Provide Superior Battery Protection

• Fail safe: automatic protection of temperature, current and power*
• Safety watchdog stops a discharge in the event of a computer crash*. 
• Discharge test current user selectable from 0 to 40 Amps
• Automatic voltage shut off at end of test using a software recommended or user selected safe discharge voltage
• Automatic over-temperature shut off at end of test at using a software recommended or user selected maximum temperature with optional external magnetic temperature sensor.

Easy-to-Use Software for Data Analysis

• User selected battery cell chemistry, number of cells and test current
• Software recommends safe tests based on user supplied battery information
• Automatic graph setup and scaling
• Measures and displays voltage, current, amp-hrs, watts and temperature .
• Easy overlay comparisons of multiple graphs may be displayed saved and recalled
• Save, display and print battery test graphs and battery labels
• Plug and Play high speed USB interface, with easy to use and intuitive Windows® software supplied on CD ROM

Extended Software Upgrade License Unlocks Features for Serious Battery Testing (Need to purchase separately)

• Power profile to characterize batteries, power supplies and solar cells
• Programmable automatic duty cycle test with up to 999 second on/off cycle periods
• Regulated constant power discharge (current goes up as battery voltage drops)
• Temperature graphing with a recovery time option
• Ragone power density charting using battery weight (used for performance comparison of energy sources charting energy density (Watt-Hours/kg) vs power density (W/kg))
• Test-lead resistance voltage calibration utility to give higher accuracy voltage readings right at the battery terminals
• Enables placement of user notes on graphs
• Multiple unit testing (each requires Extended License to access)
