Professional BK Battery Test solutions
B&K Precision offers a wide array of internal resistance/impedance based battery test solutions including handheld and benchtop units for field environments, labs, quality control, and production use, as well as frequency response analyzers for complex AC impedance data analysis and charge/discharge systems.
Battery charge/discharge solution with sequencing and data logging
This battery tester solution uses a DC Power Supply and a DC Electronic Load combined with B&K Precision’s battery test software, making it easy to create a complete system for charging and discharging batteries with data logging.
Key features:
- Charge / Discharge a battery
- Set stop conditions
- Create sequences
- Set battery protection parameters
- Log both charge and discharge data
- Calculate capacity in Ah
- Save and recall test files
New features added:
- Save and recall feature allows for faster instrument and application setup.
- The Reset option checkbox enables an instrument reset when connecting.
- Ragone Plot for evaluating specific power density and energy density. This plot is useful for evaluating battery technology when weight and space are constrained.
- Swap X-Y button to change Ragone plot axes.
- Remote sense switch added in sequence mode.
The software is free of charge and downloadable in B&K Precision website. All you need is a DC Power Supply from BK9115 or BK9200 series and a DC Electronic Load from the BK8500B or BK8600 series.

Battery Analyzers - BA6010 and BA6011
The BA6010 Series Battery Analyzers use a 1 kHz AC constant current source to measure the battery’s impedance expressed by 11 different measurement functions. With a basic voltage and impedance accuracy of 0.1% and micro-ohm resolution, these battery-tester instruments are well-suited for analyzing a wide range of battery types and configurations in the lab, quality control and manufacturing environments.
