The NEWARE CE-5040-20V10A is an 8-channel battery testing system designed for high-precision testing of consumer electronics and Smart Batteries, particularly batteries used in laptops and tablets. It combines conventional battery charge/discharge testing with SMBus and I²C communication, allowing electrical performance and battery-management data to be evaluated within the same test environment. The system provides a 2–20 V voltage measurement range and a 10 mA–10 A single-channel current measurement range, with voltage and current accuracy of ±0.02% F.S. Data can be recorded at up to 100 Hz, while the current response time is ≤20 ms. A key feature of the CE-5040-20V10A is its Smart Battery communication capability. Each channel can be configured to read different SMBus parameter lists, while the system supports SMBus and I²C communication at up to 100 kHz. Users can also edit DBC files to accommodate different communication protocols and battery-management chips. For battery research and characterization, the system supports cycle-life testing, rate charge/discharge testing, pulse simulation, GITT, DCIR, and dQ/dV analysis. The built-in energy feedback system can recover energy generated during battery discharge and supply it to other channels or feed it back to the internal power grid, with a minimum feedback efficiency of 65%.

Note on Voltage Specification

NEWARE's page describes the model as 20V/10A, while the detailed technical section specifies a 2–20 V voltage measurement range and 10 mA–10 A current measurement range for a single channel. For the RYTS website, I recommend using the detailed values in the formal specification table.
