Accessories: Standard

The UBA5 comes complete with software, cables and a power supply. You just need supply the computer with serial or USB port.
On this page we offer some accessories that extend the UBA5's capabilities.

Set of Banana Plugs

The UBA5 uses standard banana jacks for connecting to your battery. The UBA5 comes with a set of banana plug cables. If you want to make your own cables then you'll need a set of banana plugs. Although you can pick them up at most well stocked electronics stores, why take the chance? Order an extra set with your UBA5 and save time.

Technical Reference Manual

The technical reference manual contains the UBA5 communication protocol and schematic with circuit description. It is required if you want to write your own software to control the UBA5.

Temperature Probes

The temperature probes allow the battery temperature to be monitored and to terminate charging at a specific temperature or dT/dt. The temperature is logged for further analysis.

The probes work for temperatures between 0 and 100 degrees Celsius. The Temperature Probes include the connector on the back of your UBA which is installed when you order the probes with your UBA5.

Magnetic Temperature Probes

The temperature probes allow the battery temperature to be monitored and to terminate charging at a specific temperature or dT/dt. The temperature is logged for further analysis.

These probes use a small magnetic temperature sensor. This sensor attaches itself to NiCd, NiMH and lithium ion batteries and battery packs. It does not attach to lead acid nor lithium polymer batteries.

The probes work for temperatures between 0 and 100 degrees Celsius. The Magnetic Temperature Probes include the connector on the back of your UBA which is installed when you order the probes with your UBA5.

Dual Optoisolated Digital Output and Temperature Probes Module

This accessory has two opto isolated digital outputs and two temperature probes. You control these two digital outputs inside the battery analysis routines that you write.

Serial Port Opto-Isolator

Do you want to operate your UBA5 at a different ground potential from your PC? Then you need the Serial Port Opto-Isolator. This self powered isolator optically couples your UBA5 to your PC or to another UBA5. Use this isolator if the battery being tested is connected to equipment or to another battery being tested.
