How to control Neware BTS 8.0 via API？

September 15, 2026

How to Control Neware BTS 8.0 via API Here is the general workflow: Your sales representative needs to submit an after-sales service application for you and request the API activation code from our engineers. The activation code must be activated within 9 days. Once activated, it can be used permanently unless you replace your computer. Enter the activation code in this field and restart the software. Upon successful activation, the status will switch from unregistered to activated. Your sales representative will send you the installation package and API communication protocol, allowing you to control the software through the API. Please find the English version of the API protocol attached. Neware

BTS4000 vs. BTS6000: Match Test to Cell

September 11, 2026

Battery Cycler Selection Starts With the Experiment A battery cycler can have an impressive maximum-current specification and still be the wrong instrument for a laboratory. The deciding question is not simply how many amps the tester can deliver, but what the cell is expected to reveal. Material screening may depend on stable microamp-level control, while an EV cell program may require hundreds of amps, pulse response, temperature monitoring and high-frequency data capture. That distinction has become more important in 2026 as sodium-ion batteries move toward commercial production, solid-state development reaches new temperature ranges, and regulators place greater weight on battery durability data. This is the practical difference between equipment such

The Hidden Risks of Coin Cell Testing: Building Reliable Hand‑Assembled Lithium‑Ion Full Coin Cells 2026

September 2, 2026

The Hidden Risks of Coin‑Cell Testing: Building Reliable Hand‑Assembled Lithium‑Ion Full Coin Cells Lithium‑metal half‑coin cells are everywhere in battery labs for early‑stage cathode screening. They are quick to put together and often produce consistent‑looking data. But this common testing method has real blind spots that can send material development down the wrong path. In half‑cell setups, the lithium‑metal counter electrode acts as an almost unlimited lithium source. That excess lithium covers up irreversible side reactions and lithium inventory loss — failure modes that will absolutely show up in real lithium‑ion full cells. It is a familiar pain point for many researchers: you get great cycling numbers in half‑cells, yet

two independent datasets getting merged

Why do two separate cycle datasets occasionally get merged when using Neware BTS 8.0? How should we handle this issue?

August 25, 2026

Why do two separate cycle datasets occasionally get merged when using Neware BTS 8.0? How should we handle this issue? According to customer feedback, the data works fine during cycle testing. This issue (two independent datasets getting merged) only occurs when running the C‑rate test. Right‑click within the test‑data area, then select Cycle statistics / calculation. Right‑click within the test‑data area, then select Cycle statistics / calculation. This setting defines how the software identifies and counts each cycle, which can resolve the issue where two independent cycle datasets get merged. Select either **Charge First** or **Discharge First** according to your test steps. Generally speaking, for anode‑material half‑cell tests, select Discharge

Neware BMS tester

NEWARE BMS Tester is officially launched 2026

August 18, 2026

NEWARE BMS Tester is officially launched. As we know, the BMS (Battery Management System) is the core control unit of a battery pack. It prevents over‑charging / over‑discharging, estimates SOC/SOH (State of Charge / State of Health), monitors voltage and insulation, and performs cell balancing and thermal management. It directly determines battery safety and service life. With the rapid growth of new‑energy vehicles, energy‑storage systems and smart devices, battery capacity and power density keep increasing. OEMs and battery manufacturers have continuously raised requirements for BMS accuracy, safety and intelligence. The BMS tester is specialized equipment designed to validate and verify BMS performance. It simulates real‑world batteries and operating conditions on

Neware BTS DCIR configuration window

How to use “DCIR by calculation” function in Neware BTS8.0?

August 12, 2026

If you take a close look at the specification sheet for Neware battery testers, you will find the “DCIR by calculation” function. How to use this function? Right‑click on a channel to open the right‑click menu, then click View data(D). You will see the test curves and test data. In the test data area, Cycle Index is displayed by default. Expand the data and switch from Cycle Index to Step Index. Right‑click on any blank area and select DCIR. DCIR will be added as the last column in the data area. How is the DCIR data here calculated? Click the DCIR column header. The Neware BTS DCIR configuration window will
