Universal Supervisor Charger
Customize Settings for Reliability and Economy
Inserting a battery with sufficient capacity shows a green SoH Light on the charger; falling short calls for calibration with orange.
Adjustable by PC:
85-90%: Critical mission -- Fewer batteries pass
80%: Default setting -- Average setting
60-70%: Relaxed duty -- Batteries serve longer
Connecting to a PC shows battery state-of-functions. The outer ring reveals battery state-of-charge. The black ceiling tracks capacity fade against the red line. Touching the Dome displays battery data.
The PC stores battery history to track performance for user and fleet supervisors.
Charger works in standalone mode and with a PC
The USC works in standalone mode and displays battery data on a PC. Cloud Analytics records battery data in the CadexCloud.
Systems for Any Workflow Applications
Inserting a battery, the Target Selector illuminates a green SoH Light when meeting capacity. Amber calls for calibration or replacement as capacity does not recover. Calibration is done in-unit.
Programs: Charge, Calibration, Storage, AirShip
The PC reveals battery status by Fishbowl. Leftover Charge should be 10 to 20%; a margin can be set with the Target Selector.
PC connection is limited to available USB ports. Cloud Analytics is free but CadexCloud storing battery data is by subscription.
Internet connection serves an unlimited number of batteries with shared viewing.
Internet service is reserved for the USC-6 and battery analyzers. Viewing battery state-of-health (SoH) is reserved for smart batteries.
The Universal Supervisor Charger (USC) works in Standalone Mode, serves as a Local System, and extends into a Fleet Manager.
Adjustable Performance Bandwidth for all Applications
Battery Adapters
The USC uses field-replaceable battery adapters for side-by-side charging of lithium-ion and nickel-based batteries. We design custom battery adapters for Defense, Healthcare, Public Safety, and Logistics. Larger batteries connect by cables with custom jacks. |
Application Themes
Batch Test services up to 120 batteries
Batch Test
Batch Test advances the USC to a cost-effective Battery Test System serving up to 120 batteries simultaneously. The chargers can be set to Charge, Calibration, Storage or AirShip programs.
Assists battery logistics with these functions:
USC tests batteries in 30 seconds before engagement
Inserting a battery with CadexCloud provides full battery history with estimation of remaining useful battery life.
Validation Test
Custom battery adapters enable easy rapid-testing, governed by the Target Selector. Each insertion records battery performance in the CadexCloud for viewing by users.
Applications:
Configurable charger module (51x90x32 mm)
Charger Module (Butterfly)
The Butterfly provides a low-cost solution for device manufacturer requiring a diagnostic charger. We assist with these applications.
Butterfly installed in custom housings
We provide Master Controllers for two and six-bay chargers.
Butterfly installed in device
With firmware driver, battery state-of-function can be shown on the device display.
Features
The Battery Care Center optimizes battery life and calls for replacement before failure
Battery Care Center
CadexCloud with Cloud Analytics utilizes each battery fully with automated replacement, re-use and recyling
Applications:
Automated replacement batteries
Battery check with each repair reduces repeat service
Weak-Link Check
Cloud Analytics suggests to check the battery with each service. Intermittent or stress-related failures often become visible when reviewing battery history.
