The UBA (Ultimate Battery Analyzer) is a battery analyzer, charger, discharger and reconditioner.  It’s also a data
logger, thermometer and electronic load .  Wow!  That’s a lot of stuff in such a small box.  How do we do it?  Easy.  We
get the PC to do most of the work. 

The first three chapters in this guide show you how to setup the UBA then takes you step by step through a complete
battery analysis.  Once you’ve done your first battery analysis, you can use the online help that comes with the UBA
Software to learn more.  We recommend that you read these first three chapters before you run your first battery
analysis (it won’t take that long).

Notes:

●

The latest version of software and online help is available at the private area of our web site.  To get there, run
UBA Console and click on Get latest news on Vencon Website (Help menu), or go to:
http://www.vencon.com/UBA4News/B-0.96.html, or use the shortcut on the installation CD.

●

If you need help using the software or testing batteries, don’t hesitate to call or email us.  You can also email
us your battery analysis results for assistance in interpreting them.
