BST8A6V1 Eight-Channel Battery Analyzer with 0.5mA–6A Current Range, 1–5V Voltage, Laptop & Software
The BST8A6V1 battery analyzer is engineered to support detailed evaluation of rechargeable batteries across a broad current and voltage spectrum. It is ideal for research and development tasks such as electrode material characterization, battery performance testing, and small-scale battery formation. The system accommodates various battery types including cylindrical, coin, and pouch cells, enabling versatile laboratory applications.
This analyzer features eight independent channels, each equipped with programmable constant-current and constant-voltage sources controllable via dedicated software on the included laptop. The device supports current ranges from 0.5 mA up to 6 A and voltage settings from 1 V to 5 V, allowing precise charge and discharge protocols tailored to specific battery testing requirements.
Key Features
- Eight independent programmable channels with separate working modes and functions.
- Three switchable current ranges: 0.5 mA–0.1 A, 0.1 A–3 A, and 3 A–6 A with high accuracy ±(0.05% reading + 0.1% range).
- Constant charging voltage programmable between 1 V and 5 V with precise control.
- Includes two types of battery holders: gold-plated spring-loaded holders for cylindrical/coin cells up to 70 mm height and alligator clips for pouch cells.
- Comes with a brand new laptop pre-installed with Windows 11 and battery testing software calibrated for immediate use.
- Software supports multiple working modes including constant current/voltage charge/discharge, constant resistance discharge, and rest periods.
- Real-time monitoring interface with integrated graphing and data windows for comprehensive test observation and analysis.
- Automatic recovery feature resumes testing after power interruptions to prevent data loss.

Typical Applications
The BST8A6V1 is well suited for battery R&D laboratories focusing on electrode material evaluation, battery capacity and lifecycle testing, and small-scale battery formation processes. It supports testing of cylindrical, coin, and pouch cells, making it versatile for academic research, quality control, and product development in battery manufacturing.
Configuration & Operating Notes
The standard package includes the battery analyzer unit, a middle machine control unit, a brand new laptop with Windows 11 and pre-installed testing software, and battery holders (spring-loaded and alligator clips). Up to 10 analyzers can be connected to one control unit, and one laptop can control up to 20 analyzers simultaneously via Ethernet connection.
Users should disable screen protection and sleep modes on the laptop to maintain stable communication with the analyzer. Optional accessories such as movable racks for organizing analyzers are available separately. Calibration software is included to ensure measurement accuracy.
