CBA IV
Battery Analyser
The CBA IV computerised battery analyser offers a
fast and accurate, easy to use method of scientifically
analysing the performance and condition of batteries
of virtually any chemistry.
With the capability to analyse coin cells to automotive
batteries, the CBA IV’s intuitive software contains presets
and suggests safe test parameters for primary* and
rechargeable batteries, making it the perfect addition to
any battery fleet management system.
Small and portable, the CBA IV features USB ‘plug and
play’ for use with desktop computers or laptops to take
the CBA IV’s universal analysing capabilities wherever
it’s needed.

Features
Users in industries like telecommunications and radio,
solar and electronics, hobby and remote control, security
and backup power will find the CBA IV an invaluable tool
that can save both time and money.
Specifications
• Test any type of battery from coin cells to cylindrical to packs with
presets for NiCd, NiMH, Lead Acid, LiIon, LiPo, Alkaline, Carbon
Zinc, Mercury and other chemistries.
• Solar Panel Profiling: characterise performance of solar panels
over various test loads.
• Measures and displays 5 units: voltage, current, amp-hrs, watts
and temperature (Requires optional temperature probe and
extended software#).
• Test results graphically displayed. Choose the parameters and
the results can be saved for reference as well as printed and
affixed to the tested battery.
• Overlay multiple graphs for easy comparison.
• Increased sensitivity to lower currents <10mA.
• 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
NiCd or NiMH cells.
• Fail safe: automatic protection of temperature, current and power
and automatic voltage shut off at end of test.
• USB powered cooling system with quiet fan & heat sink.
• Plug and Play high speed USB interface, with easy to use and
intuitive Windows® software supplied on CD ROM.

*CBA IV does not have charging capabilities and will discharge battery
during testing. Primary cells will be unusable after testing. MI recommends
the CBA IV for batch testing of primary cells. Rechargeable cells will
require recharging on a suitable charger shortly after testing.
