CT-4008-5V10mA-164 Coin Cell Tester

Overview

This 8-channel coin cell battery tester is designed for low-current charge and discharge analysis of small coin cells and button cells used in battery research. Each channel operates independently, allowing parallel testing of multiple samples or experimental conditions without channel-to-channel interference. In the 5 V, 10 mA configuration, the system provides a programmable voltage range of 25 mV to 5 V and three current ranges covering low-current measurements from the microamp level up to 10 mA per channel.

Principle of Operation

The instrument functions as a multi-channel battery cycler with dedicated constant-current and constant-voltage control on every channel. Researchers can program charge, discharge and cycling steps through computer software to study capacity, rate capability, coulombic efficiency, cycle stability and internal resistance behaviour. Supported operating modes include constant-current charge, constant-voltage charge, combined CC-CV charging, constant-power charging, and multiple discharge modes including constant-current, constant-power, constant-resistance and constant-voltage discharge.

Key Features and Specifications

• Eight independently controlled test channels for parallel electrochemistry and battery testing workflows.
• Three per-channel current ranges: 5 µA to 1 mA, 1 mA to 5 mA, and 5 mA to 10 mA.
• High measurement performance with published voltage and current accuracy of ±0.05% of full scale.
• DCIR testing support, 4-wire connection, pulse testing, loop programming, Ethernet communication, and export to Excel, TXT and graph formats.
  
  

Compatibility and Applications

This system is suitable for lithium-based coin cells, Ni-MH button cells, Zn-Mn watch cells and other low-capacity research cells operated within the specified current and voltage window. Typical applications include electrode material screening, small-scale cell formation, cycling studies, rate testing, DCIR evaluation, teaching laboratories and early-stage R&D method development. It also fits well within a broader battery research workflow alongside coin cell assembly tools, glove boxes, electrode preparation equipment, and higher-power battery cyclers available from ScienceGears.
