BST8-600A5V 8-Channel Battery Analyzer with 600A Current and 5V Voltage Range, Includes Laptop and Software
The BST8-600A5V battery analyzer is engineered to facilitate detailed evaluation of rechargeable batteries such as Li-ion, LiFePO4, Ni-MH, and Ni-Cd types. It is particularly suited for research and development environments requiring simultaneous testing of multiple battery cells or packs with independent channel control. This model extends capabilities up to 600A current and 5V voltage per channel, supporting complex testing protocols across eight separate channels.
Each channel in the BST8-600A5V functions as an independent current and voltage source, programmable and monitored via a dedicated Windows-based software interface. The system includes a laptop preloaded with the latest testing software, enabling immediate deployment without additional setup. This configuration supports a variety of test modes including constant current charge/discharge, constant voltage charge, rest periods, and multiple limit conditions based on voltage, current, time, and capacity.
Key Features
- Eight independent programmable channels with separate current and voltage control.
- Maximum current of 600A and voltage range up to 5V per channel.
- Integrated temperature monitoring for each channel with range -25 to 110°C and ±1°C accuracy.
- Real-time data acquisition at 10 Hz with SQL database management for efficient data handling.
- Comprehensive software suite with multiple curve plotting options and intelligent test management.
- Power failure protection ensures test continuity and data integrity during outages.
- Includes heavy-duty battery clamps and 2-meter power cables for secure connections.
