BST8-12 is an eight-channel battery and supercapacitor analyzer to analyze all kinds of batteries and supercapacitors from 5.0 mA to 12 A, up to 5V, with gold-plated pins for the best connection.Each channel of the analyzer has an independent constant-current and constant-voltage source, which can be programmed and controlled by computer software. This system provides most applications in battery and supercapacitor testing fields such as electrode materials research, battery performance test, small-scale battery formation, capability grading, battery pack testing, Faraday's measurement and etc. The purchase comes with a brand new laptop with Microsoft Windows 10 with 30 days free trial of Microsoft Excel and the latest version of controller software installed and calibrated for immediate use. SPECIFICATIONS: Electricity requirement 220V AC The equipment can be used with 110V with a 1000W Transformer (Required). Power Consumption 850 W Battery Testing Control Unit Each battery and supercapacitor analyzer is required to connect to one battery testing control unit. One battery testing control unit could connect up to 10 battery-and-supercapacitor analyzers Input Impedance ≥1MΩ Current Three ranges of Max. current are built-in, and switchable on the device The first range: 5.0 mA – 1 A; Minimum Current interval: 2 mA The second range: 1 A - 6 A; Minimum Current interval: 12 mA The third range: 6 A - 12 A; Minimum Current interval: 24 mA Frequency: 10 Hz Accuracy: ± 0.05% of F.S. Voltage Range: 25 mV - 5 V programmable; Minimum Voltage interval: 10 mV Frequency: 10 Hz Accuracy: ± 0.05% of F.S. Single Channel Output Power 60 W Maximum Data register conditions Response Time: 1ms Time Range: 365 * 24 hours Charging Modes Constant Current Charging Constant Voltage Charging Constant Current & Voltage Charging Constant Power Charging Discharging Modes Constant Current Discharging Constant Voltage Discharging Constant Current & Voltage Discharging Constant Power Discharging Constant Resistance Discharging Measurement cycles 1 - 65,535 cycles Channels Eight independent programmable channels Each channel can set different working modes and functions independently Programs & Software The software (TC8.0) is included to set various working modes for measuring capacity and lifecycle for all types of rechargeable batteries Working modes Include constant current discharge, constant current charge, constant voltage charge, constant resistance discharge, rest, cycles, etc. Limited threshold conditions include voltage, current, time, capacity, negative voltage slope, etc. With real-time monitoring windows and integrated graph/data windows, the testing process can be observed more directly and efficiently During the test, the software will provide instructions and warnings for assistance Test Reports and Curves for analysis Different types of curves can be created by software based on user definition. (Voltage-time curve, current-time curve, capacity-voltage curve, loops times charge/discharge capacity curve, loops times charge/ discharge efficiency curve, etc) Data reports are created by the software. Users can easily compare the performance of the batteries tested in channels both visually and statistically Protection and Auto-recover If a power failure occurs during testing, the system will shut down all operating channels. Once power is recovered, the system will automatically resume those stopped channels and ensure that the test is normally conducted, so that no cases will lose any data. Battery Holders Two types of battery holders are included in the BST8-12 Standard package: 8 Gold Plated spring load holders with adjustable height for measuring cylinder or coin cell up to 70mm(H) (please click a picture below 1-2 to enlarge) 8 alligator clips with cable for universal connecting (especially for pouch cell, please click pictures 3-4 below) Laptop Computer Brand new laptop with MS Window 10, MS Excel 2013 30 days free trial is included and the latest version testing software is installed and calibrated for immediate use. Notice: It is suggested to use an external hard drive to keep an instant backup of the collected data. Compliance CE Certified MET, TUV, CSA, UL certification are available upon request at extra cost Application Notes New buyers must buy the software installed laptop to avoid trouble from installation. If you like to run multiple battery analyzers on one Laptop, you can just buy multiple analyzers with one laptop which are offered at a discounted price. Warning: Please choose NEVER for Screen and Sleep off in Power& Sleep setting of your computer, or it may lose connection from the battery analyzer. The customer can easily combine up to 10 battery analyzers (0.002-1mA, 0.1-10mA, 6mA-3000mA) to one computer by using a transit device. You may order MTI's movable rack to organize the battery analyzers (click the first picture below for more information) You may order an internal resistance tester to measure DC resistivity (click the second and third picture below for more information) Standard Package: Item Description Qty 1 Battery analyzer + Brand new laptop with MS Windows 11 system and battery analyzer operation software installed 1 pc 2 RS232-to-USB Adapter for connecting the analyzer to the USB port on the computer 1 pc 3 Test-Control software 5.3 Installation Disk 1 pc 4 Alligator Clips for connecting a battery 8 pc
