BST8-A6V0 8-Channel Battery and Supercapacitor Analyzer with Programmable 0.5mA–6A Current and 0–5V Voltage Range, Includes Laptop and Software
The BST8-A6V0 is engineered to facilitate detailed testing and characterization of various rechargeable batteries and supercapacitors. It is especially suited for research applications involving electrode materials, battery performance evaluation, and small-scale battery formation processes. This system enables simultaneous analysis of up to eight independent channels, each capable of operating under distinct programmable conditions.
Each channel integrates an independent constant-current and constant-voltage source, controllable via dedicated software installed on a supplied Windows 10 laptop. The analyzer supports current ranges from 0.5 mA to 6 A and voltages up to 5 V, with the capability to discharge supercapacitors down to 0 V. The system’s design includes gold-plated pins and adjustable battery holders to ensure optimal electrical contact and accommodate various cell formats.
Key Features
- Eight independent programmable channels with separate current and voltage control.
- 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 from 25 mV to 5 V; discharging voltage down to 0 V.
- Includes two types of battery holders: gold-plated spring-loaded holders for cylindrical or coin cells up to 70 mm height, and alligator clips for pouch cells.
- Comes with a brand new laptop pre-installed with Windows 10 and testing software for immediate operation.
- Software supports multiple working modes including constant current/voltage charge/discharge, constant resistance discharge, and rest periods.
- Data logging with minimum intervals of 100 ms and up to 65,535 measurement cycles per test.
- Power failure auto-recovery ensures test continuity without data loss.
