Cadex Electronic C7000-C Series - Dchonly (Discharge Only)

Cadex Electronics Inc. C7000-C Series Battery Analyzers .

Results: Global display shows failure-warning message. Detailed display shows percentage
capacity for the first cycle and the last three cycles run. It also displays: average battery or
cell voltage; analyzer charge or discharge current (shown in mA); OhmTest results; battery
temperature and duration of service.
An additional display screen (press
5
from detailed display) shows cycle number,
percentage of battery capacity achieved and OhmTest results for the first and last cycles
run.
Look for the number of cycles (a cycle is a charge followed by a discharge). Batteries
should provide the number of cycles as specified by the manufacturer. Typically, with a
target capacity of 80%, NiCd batteries should provide about 1500 cycles, NiMH 500
cycles, Li-ion 500 cycles, and SLA 300 cycles.
Duration: Approximately one month or more depending on the chemistry.
To edit the Life Cycle Test settings
The program uses the target capacity set in the C-Code to determine when the program
should end (see Target Capacity, page 43). To terminate the program after a certain
number of cycles, do the following:
