Midtronics DCA-8000: Dynamic Diagnostic Charging System
Diagnostic Diagnsotic Charging System
The Advanced diagnostic charging system featuring breakthrough core technology increases the speed of diagnostics, producing the majority of battery decisions in five minutes or less. The DCA-8000 simulates a start event using the integrated 300A (optional 500A) load and then charges the battery to confirm the battery can support advanced automotive system applications like start-stop. As a result, DCA-8000 is better equipped to determine the actual battery state. The DCA-8000 assures service preparedness for new battery failure sites, battery types, and developing vehicle systems when combined with Conductance ProfilingTM.
In order to provide a complete picture of battery status, comprehensive detection diagnostics evaluate a variety of additional battery variables, such as charge acceptance, defect and degradation, cold battery, deep discharge, stratification, and internal battery temperature,evaluates the battery's ability to operate start-stop, regenerative braking, and variable output alternators; future technologies are controlled through routine software upgrades.
