Building on BioLogic’s established reputation for reliable instrumentation, the BCS-900 Battery Cycler represents a revolutionary leap forward. This system merges unmatched performance with a user-centric design owing to the groundbreaking BT-Lab® Suite software, the latest innovation in battery testing technology. This series of ultra-precise cyclers features five current ranges, 18-bit current and voltage resolution, high-precision coulometry, fast bandwidths (rise and fall times), smart sampling, interfacing with external equipment and temperature probes, amongst many other high-end functions.
The result is a powerful, modular system suitable for any organization specializing in battery testing and research, from industry to academia, quality control to certification.
Streamlining Versatility: Excel at every level of the battery value chain.
The BCS-900 series offers a modular approach to battery cycling, providing researchers and industrial users with the perfect tool for their needs. Built upon a robust, high-end platform, each module delivers targeted current ranges for specific applications:
- BCS-905: The Micro Manager – Ideal for coin cells and other miniature batteries, the BCS-905 boasts a maximum current of ±150 mA per channel.
- BCS-910: Powering R&D and Pilot Lines – Perfectly suited for research labs and pilot production, the BCS-910 offers a mid-range current capacity of ±1.5 A per channel.
- BCS-915: The High-Performance Workhorse – Designed for demanding high-power testing, the BCS-915 delivers a maximum current of ±15 A per channel. It also features parallel channel connectivity, enabling users to achieve even greater outputs of ±30 A, ±60 A, or even ±120 A.
This modular design gives you the flexibility to choose the ideal tool for your specific needs, while the shared high-end platform ensures consistent performance across the entire BCS-900 series.
Precision, accuracy & modularity: three reasons to choose the BCS-900 battery cycler series.
With an 18-bit current and voltage resolution, the BCS-900 battery cycler series has been developed to generate high-precision high-accuracy measurements. Five current ranges yield excellent resolution down to 0.2/2/20 nA. Moreover, a large voltage range of 0 – 9*/10 V (915*) with a 40 µV resolution offers a wide potential window for demanding applications with an outstanding resolution.
An optional built-in FRA (Frequency Response Analyzer) is available for every BCS-900 module enabling native and fully integrated Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) experiments over the frequency range of 10 kHz to 10 mHz on each channel in either galvano or potentio mode. EIS measurements are as fast and precise as those obtained with our research-grade equipment – no compromise on quality has been made. With EIS, the evolution of your batteries’ parameters can be precisely determined (SOC, SOH, internal resistance Ri).

The instrument offers a fast data acquisition with a 1 ms sampling rate and time base. Learn more about data of interest to work more efficiently.
The BCS-900 system is designed to allow you to simply and autonomously add modules to your system. Thanks to their modularity and compatibility, different BCS-900 modules can be combined in a single cabinet, in one of 4 sizes (6U, 12U, 24U and 38U), allowing users to build a custom-made battery cycling system that meets their exact requirements and can be easily upgraded for the future, if necessary.
Built-in redundant data storage
Battery cycling tests are long term and high stakes and the BCS-900 series is the only battery cycler on the market with an on-board SSD drive, ensuring data is never lost. A dedicated and embedded operating system and local storage redundancy guarantees demanding data processing needs are met. Automatic or manual actions can be defined with safety limits and built-in security features to ensure the integrity of tests is never compromised.

Battery cycler.
BioLogic’s battery cycler line-up is made up of two complementary ranges of instruments, the high throughput BCS-900 Series battery cyclers and the R&D grade MPG-200 Series battery testers.
The result is a powerful, modular system suitable for any organization specializing in battery testing and research, from industry to academia, quality control to certification.
Scanning electrochemical workstation.
BioLogic has over 25 years of experience producing scanning electrochemical workstations. Initially, this included a number of single technique instruments, with the first modular scanning electrochemical workstation, the M370, introduced in 2006, under the Uniscan name.
Scanning probe electrochemistry has found use in academic and commercial research settings. It is applicable in any field in which bulk electrochemical measurements have been used. Scanning probe electrochemistry has found widespread use in Corrosion and coatings, Biology, including biosensors and biotechnology, Batteries, fuel cells and photovoltaics, Materials, Catalysis
Add-on Instrument.
Made up of high-end and fully integrated solutions such as Rotating Ring-Disk Electrode and temperature control chambers, our range of ancillary products is designed to extend the possibilities of your BioLogic instruments without compromise.
Impedance analyzer.
The MTZ-35 is a high-frequency impedance analyzer which is the key element of several fully integrated solutions for the electrical characterization of materials . These solutions comprise a MTZ-35 impedance analyzer, a Temperature Control Unit, a sample holder and MT-Lab software.
The MTZ-35 is also offered as a standalone instrument for use with other systems/accessories.
Spectrometer.
As a leader in this field, BioLogic has over 30 years of experience of developing equipment designed to give researchers a cutting-edge. Originally dedicated to rapid kinetics measurements, BioLogic now also develops, integrates and manufactures a wide range of instrumentation for steady-state spectroscopy including spectropolarimeters.
Stopped-flow/quench flow.
The premium stopped-flow family (SFM) lies at the heart of BioLogic’s rapid kinetics instrumentation range. Based on independent stepping-motor technology, the SFM product line has been designed to achieve the shortest possible dead time, and the highest precision, in order to minimize sample consumption and accommodate the largest range of detectors.
The SFM-2000/3000/4000 stopped-flow series is available for single, double or triple mixing applications. Recognized for its versatility, the SFM is not only a stopped-flow and can convert in minutes to a freeze quench, to a cryo-stopped flow, or to a chemical quench-flow system.
For applications where sample cost is a priority, BioLogic has developed stopped-flow and quench-flow solutions that just require 10µl of solution per experiment. With a µSFM or QFM-4000, a complete series of experiments can be performed with just 100 µl in a vial saving precious time and samples without compromising sensitivity.
Rapid solution changer.
BioLogic’s Rapid Solution Changer (RCS-200) is a multi-channel perfusion system designed to work with patch-clamp and other biological equipment in a wide variety of electrophysiological domains including neurosciences, biotech and pharmacology. The instrument is used for changing the concentration of solutions (ions, neurotransmitters, ligands etc) or the solutions themselves.
