Introduction
Thank you for choosing the West Mountain Radio Computerized Battery Analyzer (CBA). The CBA is a
powerful test instrument that measures, graphs, and compares performance of both primary and secondary
(rechargeable) batteries and individual cells. The CBA allows for the precise measurement of battery capacity
and takes the guesswork out of choosing the best battery for your application.
The CBA is much more than a simple battery voltage tester or a battery load tester. It will test virtually any type
