  • Page 12: Introduction Of The Product Range

    BCS-8xx series installation manual 1 Introduction of the product range Historically, the first battery tester built by Bio-Logic was a multi-channel instrument. It was designed to study intercalated ion compounds with long experiment times due to slow diffu- sion coefficients. Since that time, many improvements have been made. Following in the steps of our first multi-channel instrument, the BCS-8xx series is a newly developed multi-channel instrument specifically designed for battery cycling.

    BCS-8xx series installation manual With BCS-805 and BCS-810, no BCS-PDU is needed because the required power for these modules is relatively low and does not justify a three-phase power supply distribution. The eight channels of a BCS-810 require the same power as one channel of a BCS-815. It is possible to connect different models of BCS-8xx modules to the same BCS-COM.
