Cadex’s C7000 family provides programmable battery service, using charge/discharge routines to measure capacity and support reuse or replacement decisions. The four-bay C7400 and C7400ER remain the service-analyzer core of this capability. Application-specific adapters and BatteryShop PC control support mixed battery fleets, while detailed operating limits depend on chemistry and configuration. This discharge-based method provides a different measurement route from the separately described Spectro rapid test.
Technical detail
Core features
C7400 datasheet: four bays; 1.2–15 V nominal; 100 mA–4 A in 25 mA steps; charge limits 55 W per bay/80 W total and discharge limits 35 W per bay/140 W total.
C7400ER datasheet: four bays; 1.2–36 V nominal, 45 V maximum; 100 mA–6 A in 25 mA steps; charge limits 75 W per bay/170 W total and discharge limits 75 W per bay/200 W total.
Published chemistry coverage includes Li-ion, NiMH, NiCd and lead-acid. Shared power limits can scale or queue service across bays.
Revision-7 manual gives C7400ER chemistry maxima of 28.8 V for NiCd/NiMH, 36 V for SLA/Li-ion and 26.4 V for Li-Ph; the C7200/C7400 maxima are 14.4 V for NiCd/NiMH/Li-ion, 14 V for SLA and 13.2 V for Li-Ph.
Constant-current discharge measures usable capacity; service routines include Auto, cycling, nickel-battery reconditioning, self-discharge, runtime and OhmTest.
Battery adapters are separate; their stored C-code configurations and temperature sensing connect battery-specific settings to the analyzer.
BatteryShop supports up to 32 analyzers/128 channels over RS-232 or USB on a dedicated Windows 10 PC.
Current product cards state 1.2–16 V for C7400 and 1.2–32 V for C7400ER, differing from the datasheet and manual. Confirm the battery-specific limit for the supplied revision.
