Computerised Battery Analyzer

[Kerrowman]

Hi there,

I’m looking for a computerized battery analyzer that will achieve the functions shown below and show graphical plots on a Windows 11 laptop in real-time.

 

I have been looking at the CBA iV from West Mountain Radio that would have been fine and do all I need and at a reasonable price, but it doesn't appear to work with laptops, only desktop computers. The link for this is here: https://www.radioworld.co.uk/cba_iv_pro_58250-1015-computerized_battery_analyzer?ref=StoreYa&utm_source=stry&utm_medium=trafb&utm_term=pla-296303633664&utm_campaign=storeya51

 

What I am measuring is the effect on the charging process for some small 7Ah AGM batteries, but later also regular car batteries, of a generator that produces high current pulses from a capacitive discharge circuit.

 

So what I would like to be able to do are the following:

 

1: Release a known amount of charge (Ah) or energy (Watt-mins) from a fully charged battery; so acting as an electronic load

 

2: Observe the charging profile of the battery with a Volts vs time graph on a laptop as it is being charged by my pulsing system

 

3: Be able to measure the power and current delivered to the battery being charged

 

So I don't need the device to be a power supply but instead to monitor what is happening as the battery charges and also to be a load at times.

 

I have looked at a few devices (see below) but while they can clearly act as loads, I'm not so sure about the other requirements?
