BST8WA 8-Channel Battery Analyzer for Small Coin and Cylindrical Cells
The BST8WA battery analyzer is engineered to support detailed evaluation of small coin cells and cylindrical batteries, addressing the needs of battery material research, performance testing, and small-scale battery formation. It is capable of delivering precise current control from 0.005 mA up to 1 mA and voltage programming up to 5 volts, making it suitable for a wide range of low-current battery testing applications.
This system features eight independent channels, each equipped with programmable constant-current and constant-voltage sources. The channels operate independently, allowing simultaneous testing under different conditions. The analyzer connects to a dedicated laptop pre-installed with Windows 11 and proprietary testing software, enabling comprehensive control, data acquisition, and analysis. An optional WIFI module can extend control range up to 50 meters in open areas.
Key Features
- Eight independent channels with programmable constant current (0.005 mA to 1 mA) and constant voltage (0.5 V to 5 V) sources.
- High-accuracy current and voltage measurement with ±(0.05% reading + 0.1% range) precision.
- Includes two types of battery holders: gold-plated spring-loaded holders for cylindrical or coin cells up to 70 mm height, and an 8-channel coin cell testing board for diameters up to 25 mm.
- Comprehensive testing software (TC5.3) supports multiple working modes including constant current/voltage charge and discharge, constant resistance discharge, and rest periods.
- Real-time monitoring interface with integrated graphing and data windows for direct observation of test progress.
- Automatic recovery after power failure to prevent data loss and resume interrupted tests.
- Pre-installed Windows 11 laptop with 4GB RAM and 128GB SSD included; supports simultaneous control of up to 20 analyzers via Ethernet connection.
