Cadex - Custom ISO 13485 Battery Packs
Cadex specializes in the design and manufacture of battery packs and chargers. Combining these two capabilities enables us to provide you with a one-stop solution. The most important benefit is matching battery and charger to improve battery performance and extend service life, an improvement that cannot be realized with separate designs. Cadex has been providing battery charging and diagnostic systems since 1981. The driving force behind our success is a broad knowledge in electrical storage systems, innovative designs, superior product quality, first-class customer support and competitive pricing. Customers turn to Cadex for advice to improve battery reliability and extend service life. We would also delighted to hear about your battery quirks.
BATTERY AND CHARGER GO TOGETHER LIKE HORSE AND CARRIAGE
Nowhere else does an advanced charger play a larger role than in a harsh environment. Ultra-fast charging, keeping the battery at prolonged high charging voltage and exposure to elevated temperatures lowers the service life. Charging below freezing further induces a cell imbalance, stresses the can be mitigated with a well-designed charger.
Cadex builds batteries that include SoC-readout, SMBus and BMS. These custom features work in unison with our chargers to receive the full benefit.
Designing a good pack begins with the selection of cells.
- Low-cost cells serve mainly consumer goods. They are economically priced but have relatively short lifespan.
- High capacity cells offer increased runtimes but the load current is limited.
- Industrial cells deliver high current but offer lower capacity and are more expensive.
To lower stress level when charging batteries, a charger should include these features:
- The speed by which a battery can safely be fast-charged is governed by temperature.
- Ultra-fast charging should only be applied at a moderate temperature.
- The charger should limit the time the cell stays at elevated voltage.
Cadex considers these requirements when designing industrial chargers.
