Multi-channel cell cycling machines

Cell cycling “cabinets” with 128, 256 or 512 channels can be used to test high volumes of cells :

Charge/discharge current

2A is a bit weak (< 1C in most cases) so this can lenghten tests, but 2A charge-discharge should be applicable to any cell type without changing configuration

3A : about 1C or less on 18650. A bit weak on 21700 cells (5 A is better)

5A is a great overall current for any cell measurement

256~512-channel
