Battery Service Programs
The Cadex analyzer comes with four basic programs, nine advanced programs and
four custom programs. These programs measure the battery state-of-health (SoH),
the battery’s capacity and find any anomalies that may affect battery performance.
If the battery passes the Auto, Prime or Charge service programs, the battery can
stay on the charger and stay fully charged until it is used. If the battery fails, the
program terminates with the appropriate fault code.
Basic Programs
The basic programs are Auto, Charge, Prime, and QuickSort (for 16K Battery
Adapters only). These programs cannot be edited. Each program performs
functions for different purposes:
