CPX-917P (Mercedes)

Product details:

Designed to support both Mercedes passenger vehicles and trucks in one unit.

CPX-917P is an advanced 12V/24V battery diagnostic tool which uses Midtronics unique Conductance Profiling™ technology which determines battery cranking capability and also adds Reserve Capacity testing and supports the Mercedes battery warranty claim process.

With CPX-917P, Mercedes workshops now have access to a tester that will provide the most accurate picture of the battery’s health and performance, allowing rapid, reliable decisions to be made and customer satisfaction assured.

Main Features

Advanced Diagnostics

CPX-917P provides a clear picture of battery health that you’ve never had before. Midtronics advanced Conductance Profiling technology CPX-917P provides increased decisiveness which reduces the likelihood of receiving a ‘Charge and Re-Test’ decision. This allows you to diagnose and maintain batteries more efficiently without extra unnecessary workload.

Highly Accurate Test Results

Designed with advanced testing algorithms and combined with extra data points that Conductance Profiling™ offers, you will be presented with highly accurate test results with clear decisions.
CPX-917P automatically removes Surface Charge from the vehicle battery to ensure fast, accurate reading of battery voltage level.

Dynamic Service Experience

The 3.5” colour screen is bright and exceptionally clear, making it easy to read at a glance.
This ease of use extends to the physical design as well – the buttons are robust and responsive, easily operable even with gloves on. The clamps, a critical component of any battery tester, are well-made anddesigned for durability and reliability.
Wi-Fi enabled, the CPX-917P is able to send test results via email as well as having a built in printer. The Wi-Fi connection also allows software updates to be received conveniently over the air.

FAQ's

What training is required to use a battery tester?

Very little training is needed to operate a conductance-based battery tester. We typically recommend you understand the battery application (12v/24v set), what type of battery you’re testing (Flooded/EFB/AGM), and what the rated value of the battery is (1000amps/550amps etc) before a battery test, to make sure test results are accurate.

Where should you test a battery?

Batteries should always be tested on the battery terminals if possible. In cases where the battery terminals are not accessible, you can test on the jump post instead, but this will not provide the most accurate test result. If a battery replace decision is received, it should be verified through testing on the battery terminals, as internal resistance may produce a misdiagnosis.

Why is a temperature sensor an important feature on a battery tester?

Midtronics battery testers are unique with their temperature sensor feature, which is designed to improve the accuracy of a battery test result. Most battery testers simply ask if a battery is above or below 0°C to take into account performance dips. A true temperature reading improves the accuracy of a test result, whilst also providing a good sense of whether there’s a fault with the battery tester itself.

Can older battery testers damage EFB or AGM batteries?

Conductance-based testers do not do damage to batteries or discharge them during the test process. They offer a safe testing environment for technicians, irrespective of battery condition. However, older style Load testers can cause the risk of injury to the user through risk of igniting expelled gases from the battery. Furthermore, every time they are used, they discharge the battery.

Can I test a 12V Lithium battery with a battery tester.

No. battery testers can currently only test lead-acid batteries.

How long does a battery test take

CPX-900 can test a battery in under 2 minutes

What is the difference in the test report coming from the Battery tester printer and the Battery Test Report from ROBIS

The ROBIS test report provides more explanation of the test results and makes it easier to understand by using a ‘traffic light’ system to explain battery condition.

What is Reserve Capacity (RC)

Batteries can have strong cranking health but poor reserve capacity (RC) health. RC measurements indicate how long a vehicle with a normal electrical load will run with a broken alternator or fan belt. There is no reliable correlation between normal conductance test results and RC results. The traditional conductance measurement is expanded by applying a small load for 60 seconds. The battery's response to this load is compared to profiles of batteries with RC issues. This forms the basis of Midtronics Conductance Profiling (CP) technology.
