Sarel Electronics Ltd. Cell Recovery Analyzer (CRA)

"Since Datasphere and CSI [began] using the CRA for impedance checking online, battery failures dropped 80%" - Peter Rand

[Applications] [Specs] [Features] [Manual (PDF)]

The CRA is a portable, multi-purpose instrument that is indispensable for the ongoing preventative maintenance of battery systems used in UPS, telecommunications, data-center and other applications. Can be used with: Wet & Dry Cell/Chargeable & Non Rechargeable

The instrument is plugged into a standard 120V (220V available), 1 phase outlet and performs as an AC or DC constant current source depending upon the setting of a selector switch. It has both a cell equalizer mode and an impedence testing mode.

The unit comes in a "briefcase" type housing, and has a large zipper pocket for added portability by technicians. The pocket on the unit is used to carry the cables used with this device and can house any other equipment the technician carries for the service call.

APPLICATIONS

1. Checking the condition, reliability, load cabability, internal impedance of batteries.
2. Equalization of a battery or a string of batteries
3. Charging of batteries
4. Low DC Voltage Testing. Allows testing of components using a low voltage thereby eliminating the risk of failure prior to applying normal (higher) DC Voltage.
