The CBA III (Computerized Battery Analyzer) is much more than a simple battery voltage tester or a battery load tester. Unlike a simple load tester the CBA will test virtually any type or size of battery, any chemistry, any number of cells up to 55 volts. For the first time and for a reasonable price, anyone can do scientific tests of their batteries by letting their computer do all the work.

The CBA is capable of higher test rates than other analyzers: up to 40 amps or 150 watts, whichever is higher. With accessory amplifiers you may discharge at up to 2000 watts!

It not only tests the total amount of energy stored in a battery (capacity in amp-hrs), but it graphically displays and charts voltage versus amp-hours.

CBA III features:
• Easy to use and foolproof;
• Perform professional quality tests of almost any battery (any chemistry) at up to 55 volts!;
• Analyze exact battery characteristics;
• Match cells or pick the best pack;
