Choose the cycling range around the cell
A battery cycler applies programmed charge and discharge steps to support cell research. Start with cell voltage, charge/discharge current and the intended cycle sequence. These two SSI listings cover laboratory cell testing; they do not establish a high-voltage battery-pack test range.
| Configuration | Catalog reference | Application |
|---|---|---|
| Low-Current Battery Cycler | 8 channels; 5 V / 20 mA | Multi-channel charge, discharge and cycle testing for coin-cell research. |
| Cell Formation & Battery Cycler | 8 channels; 5 V / 12 A; catalog accuracy ±0.05% FS | Multi-channel formation and cycling for cell R&D. |
Coin-cell research versus cell formation
The 20 mA configuration is the low-current option. The 12 A configuration is listed for formation and cycling. Confirm the minimum operating current, measurement range and accuracy at your intended test point. A channel count does not, by itself, confirm independent channel control or the supplied fixture package.
What to include in a battery tester enquiry
- Cell chemistry and format: coin, pouch or cylindrical, with terminal dimensions.
- Voltage limits, required charge/discharge currents and number of cells tested simultaneously.
- Formation or cycling steps, cut-off criteria and expected experiment duration.
- Required sampling interval, data export and computer/software scope.
- Holder, contact, temperature monitoring and chamber interfaces to be reviewed.
Frequently asked questions
Is a battery cycler the same as a battery recycler?
No. These listings concern electrical charge–discharge testing and formation. They do not describe material recovery or recycling equipment.
Does a cycler quotation include every accessory?
Ask for an itemized scope covering leads, holders, software and any temperature or chamber interfaces. Inclusion is confirmed in the quotation.
