Features and Functionality

The ISDT BG-8S is equipped with a bright 260,000-color IPS display, ensuring excellent readability even in direct sunlight. The integration of BattGO technology in conjunction with the XT60i connector provides full "smart" battery control: detailed information on individual cell voltage, charge cycle count, usage history, and additional metadata that simplifies battery maintenance and extends their lifespan.

• Automatic Balancing: an advanced algorithm ensures highly accurate voltage equalization between cells (less than 0.005V); upon completion, the device enters power-saving mode.
• Portable Charging: the BG-8S can act as an external battery for mobile devices thanks to QC 2.0/3.0 and BC1.2 support with an output of up to 12V/2A.
• Signal Testing and Analysis: receiver signal testing and analysis of multiple protocols, including PWM, PPM, and S.BUS, are supported, making the device useful for diagnosing radio equipment and flight control systems.
• Diverse Connections: supports XT60/XT60i, XH2.54 (1-8S), XH2.54 (3 pin), JST, and other connector types for flexible connections.
• Firmware Updates: a Micro USB port is available for easy firmware flashing and updates via PC.
• XT60i for BattGO: the XT60i connector, co-developed by ISDT and Amass, ensures compatibility with original XT60 and full support for BattGO functionality.

The BG-8S combines professional measurement capabilities with the convenience of field use: accurate voltage readings, reliable automatic balancing, the ability to be used as a portable power source, and advanced diagnostic functions for receiver signals. Its compact size (80 x 55 x 19 mm) and light weight (59 g) make the device convenient for transport to flights or to the workshop.

This smart tester is suitable for both amateurs and professionals: monitor the condition of LiHv/LiPo/LiFe/LiIon batteries from 1 to 8S, as well as NiMH/NiCd up to 10S, getting measurement accuracy of ±0.005V and high-quality balancing to extend battery life.

An ideal choice for drone owners, modelers, and technicians who need a reliable, compact, and functional tester with BattGO support and a wide range of interfaces.
