About Cadex Electronics (BU63)

  Isidor Buchmann, founder and president of Cadex Electronics, recognized that the full potential of Nickel-cadmium was not being achieved and developed a battery analyzer to exercise and rejuvenate these batteries. The company first operated from the founder's residence under the name Buchmann Enterprises Inc. After receiving the “Cadex” trademark, Isidor changed the name to Cadex Electronics Inc. in 1985. “Cadex” is derived from "CADmium-EXerciser."

Over the next two decades, Cadex developed a series of battery analyzers to service rechargeable batteries. The proprietary recondition feature, which Isidor developed, proved to be so effective in restoring weak batteries that the Cadex analyzers soon became a workhorse, servicing batteries for radio communications, medical, portable computing, aviation and defense applications.

In 1991, Cadex introduced the first user-programmable battery analyzer. The Cadex C3000 and C4000 offered more accurate test results, enabled higher battery throughput, were more effective in restoring weak packs and adapted themselves better in servicing new battery systems than other equipment available. Cadex received ISO 9001 certification in 1999.
