Franklin Electric CA026 Interchangeable Cable (Celltron)
For use with the following Celltron Advantage Kits:
Originally under the branding Midtronics Battery Testers
The Franklin Electric CA026 Interchangeable Cable (Celltron) is a genuine Franklin Electric accessory designed to add flexibility to CELLTRON handheld battery testers. It lets technicians switch connection types without replacing the whole lead set. This saves time, reduces wear on equipment, and keeps testing work flowing on busy days in the field or workshop.
Adaptable Connection System
With the Franklin Electric CA026 Interchangeable Cable (Celltron), technicians can quickly move between probe sets, clamp sets, and other approved accessories as site conditions change. One cable body supports many tasks, from checking tight battery cabinets to testing large posts on industrial cells. This adaptable approach is useful in mixed sites where banks, racks, and terminals vary from room to room.
Consistent Measurement Quality
Accurate readings matter. The Franklin Electric CA026 Interchangeable Cable (Celltron) maintains low resistance along the full length of the cable. Secure locking connectors prevent wobble and help deliver a clean signal for conductance, voltage, and resistance tests. Stable connections reduce retests and help avoid errors that could lead to wrong maintenance decisions.
Built for Field Durability
The Franklin Electric CA026 Interchangeable Cable (Celltron) is built with rugged, flexible cabling that handles repeated bending and routing through tight spaces. Reinforced strain reliefs protect the points where movement is greatest. The outer jacket resists abrasion and common site contaminants. This strong build helps the cable stand up to transport, storage, and daily handling.
Simple, Tool-Free Changes
On a long test route, speed matters. The Franklin Electric CA026 Interchangeable Cable (Celltron) uses quick-connect fittings so you can swap accessories in seconds. There is no need for spanners or screwdrivers. Technicians can remove a clamp set, attach probes, and continue the job without delay. Less fumbling with parts means more time on productive testing.
Universal Compatibility
The Franklin Electric CA026 Interchangeable Cable (Celltron) works with a wide range of CELLTRON handheld tester models and genuine accessories. This helps teams standardise their kits and reduces the number of spare leads they must carry. Using approved parts also supports equipment warranties and helps ensure test data stays consistent across sites and crews.
Applications:
- Utility battery banks with mixed post sizes
- Data centre UPS systems that require both clamps and probes
- Telecom cabinets with restricted access points
- Industrial and transportation battery arrays
- Field service kits that travel between multiple customer sites
Safety and Ergonomics
The cable’s flexible routing helps maintain a working position and keeps hands away from hardware. Clear connector orientation reduces mis-mates and helps prevent slips, sparks, or damaged terminals.
Best Practice Tips
Keep the connectors clean and free of oxidation. Before each shift, check the jacket and strain reliefs for cuts or kinks. Coil the cable loosely for storage to avoid stress on the conductors. Pair the cable with genuine Franklin Electric clamps and probes for the best fit and measurement stability.
