Option Boards
All models of the C7000 and the C7000ER come with a RS-232 Serial Port that
connects to a label printer or to BatteryShop. There are 2 option boards, OP-70 and
OP-72, that can be purchased for additional support. (The C7000ER is already
equipped with the OP-70 option board.) The option board sticker is at the back of
the analyzer. The option board configuration is also displayed during start-up.

Custom Adapters Accommodate any specifi c battery shape.
There are over 600 Custom Adapters available.
Dual-station
Custom Adapters
Smart Cable Adapters
(Universal Adapters)
Designed to handle dual packs that contain 2
separate battery systems.
Used when a Custom Adapter for a battery is
not available. Alligator clips attach to positive
and negative terminals.

Operating Principles 3
Each adapter contains up to 10 battery parameters (C-Codes) for optimal battery
services. Once the adapter is inserted, the battery station receiving the adapter
automatically chooses the last selected C-Code as the active C-Code.
Note that Smart Cable Adapters need to be programmed, and the user must enter
the correct C-Code settings for the battery to be serviced. Refer to
C-Codes
For Li-Ion batteries of greater than 7.2V (2 cells), a custom designed
adapter is strongly recommended.
Cadex continuously designs adapters for new battery models and also designs
custom adapters for a nominal fee. Please contact Cadex for a current adapter
catalog or download a copy from our Web site, www.cadex.com.
Special Handling Tip for Smart Cable Adapters

discharge, charge, recondition, and resistance test to achieve results as required.
Basic Programs
The basic programs include Auto, Charge and Prime. Each program performs
functions for different purposes:
Function Use

Battery Service Programs
Auto Exer cis e s b a t te rie s to m a i nta in
optimum performance. If the Target
Capacity cannot be reached,
recondition is applied.
Charge Applies fast charge. No capacity
readings are taken and no di scharge
is applied.
Prime Repeatedly cycles battery until
maximum capacity is reached. If
capacity i mprovement is more than 5%
over previous reading, an additio nal
cycle is applied.
*
If the voltage drops below the level required by the processor within the
Smart Battery, information can be lost. In some cases, this can cause the
battery to become non-operative.
Restore batteries affected by "memory".
Routi ne b a tte ry ma inte nanc e .
Identify marginally performing batteries.
S e rvice bat t e r ie s in unk nown c ondit ion.

Fast charge.
Topping up of partially discharged or
partially used batteries.
Prepare new batteries for field use.
Condition batteries that have been in
storage. Warning: Do not store Smart
Batteries in discharged state.*

Specialty Programs
Specialty programs include OhmTest, Runtime, Self-Discharge, Life-Cycling,
Discharge Only, Extended Prime, and 4 programmable Custom Programs.
Function Use
OhmTest Tests internal resistance against the
user definable Resistance Threshold.
Passes or Fails the battery.
Runtime Measures length of time a battery can
provide a given current and remain
above its End of Voltage. Runti me
Cycles are editable.
Self-
Discharge
Life-
Cycling
Discharge
Only
Reads fully charged battery capacity,
recharges and reads the capacity
again after a user definable wait
period. If the second reading is lower
by 30% or more, the battery is failed.
C o ntinuo us ly c yc le s b atter y unti l
capacity drops below Target Capacity.
Displays initial and final capacity,
OhmTest result and self discharge
readings (if self discharge is included).
Discharges a battery to its End of
Discharge voltage.
Check if the battery is in good condi tion.
De t e rmine if the ba tte ry re q ui r e s to b e
further analyzed.
Tests runtime of batteries for wireless
communicatio ns equipment.
Identify high self discharge on batteries
that otherwise may have good ca pacity
readings.
Veri f y ba tte r y li fe c ycle .
Esti ma te p erfo rmance ti me .
Determine residual capacity of battery.
Prepare batteries for storage. Warning:
Do not store Smart Batteries in
discharged state (See * on p.21)
Determine battery performance under
