All-in-one battery tool for RC hobbyists

The ISDT BG-8S Smart Battery Checker combines voltage measurement, cell balancing, receiver signal testing and USB power-bank operation in a single handheld unit. It targets RC pilots and drivers who manage LiHv, LiPo, Li-ion, LiFe or NiMH/NiCd packs from 2S to 8S and want one device for field checks and charging phones.

Compact build with XT60, balance and USB ports

The enclosure measures 3 L x 2 W x 1 H inches and weighs 0.2 pounds, so it fits easily in a flight bag. Connections include XT60 and XT60i for main leads, a 2-8S balance port for per-cell data, a standard three-pin plug for BEC voltage checks and a USB output that delivers up to 12V 2A using Qualcomm QC 2.0/3.0 and BC1.2 protocols. BattGO technology adds detailed pack history when an XT60i smart battery is connected.

12V 2A USB output decides power-bank usefulness

Maximum output is 12V at 2A, which determines how quickly the unit can charge phones, tablets or other USB gear from a connected flight pack. If your devices need higher voltage or current, this checker will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

What balance-port range does the BG-8S support for cell measurements?

It measures 2-8S balance connectors across LiHv, LiPo, Li-ion, LiFe, NiMH and NiCd chemistries.

Which connectors are required to mount the unit to a battery?

XT60 or XT60i for main power and a 2-8S balance plug for per-cell data.

How is BattGO data activated on the checker?

Plug the battery's XT60i connector into the unit; the BattGO firmware then reads cycles, cell voltages and parameters automatically.
