The MTI BST8-3 is an eight-channel battery analyzer engineered for comprehensive testing of small coin cells and cylindrical batteries. Each of the eight independent channels operates under computer control with programmable configuration, enabling simultaneous multi-protocol testing for electrode material research, performance characterization, battery formation, and capacity grading. The system automatically resumes operation on all stopped channels following power restoration, maintaining data integrity throughout extended test sequences.
