Port diagram
This product is suitable for the lithium battery which has the XH 2.54 balance
port. Connect the balance port align from BAT- as showed in the figure. When
connecting 1S battery, input Voltage from XT60i must be more than 5 V.
Function button
Menu button:
Short Press to enter setting menu
Long Press to enter smart battery menu
Up/Down Button:
Go up or down, choose different setting option.
Measurement display
WHEN XT60i CONNECTING TO SMART BATTERY
In this mode, BG-8S can read smart battery info. After plug in XT60i, default
display is 01, press down button go to 02 to read battery cells voltage.
WHEN XT60i CONNECTING TO NORMAL BATTERY
When XT60i connecting to normal battery, BG-8S would only show total voltage, balance port need to be connected to check each cell voltage.
PS: If only XT60i was connected, short press menu button twice to start
USB charging.
WHEN BATTERY CONNECTING TO BALANCE PORT
When a battery is connected to the balance port, BG-8S will show total battery voltage, max voltage difference between each cell and each cell voltage.
PS: When only a balance port is connected, short press menu twice, the
battery can initiate cell balancing task.
Function Setting
Short press menu button to see system function menu below:
| Language | Support up to 7 languages |
|---|---|
| Backlight | Back light adjustment, back light will automatically turn off in 2 |
minutes if no operation (In balancing mode in 20 seconds)
Volume| Support high, middle, low and 0 volume. Alarm sound can not be turned
off.
System Information| Show firmware version
Receiver Tester| Support multiple prototype testing, PWM\ S.Bus
Alarm Tone| Low voltage alarm can be set to beep once or beep per minute
Low Voltage Alarm| Connecting XT60i port, User can select voltage 5-30v as low
voltage alarm threshold.
Connecting balance port, user can select single cell voltage 2.5-3.9v as low
voltage alarm threshold. Connecting BattGo smart battery, BG-8S will
automatically select battery‘s lowest discharging voltage as alarm voltage.
USB Charge| When XT60i is connecting to battery, BG-8S can support USB
charging
Cells Balance| When balance port is connecting to battery, BG-8S can support
cells balancing.
Back| Exit function menu
When connecting to smart battery, in standby press and hold menu button then
you can go into system setting.
Auto Storage| Select how many hours, Battgo smart battery would initiate auto
storage function.
---|---
Storage Voltage| Set storage voltage
Charge Current| Set charge current
Charge Voltage| Set full voltage
Exception Record| Check exception records of over
charging/discharging/temperature
Back| Exit function menu
Receiver signal testing
PWM TESTING
RC control signal PWM protocol analysis, connect to servo receiver signal
output, BG-8S will detect PWM output period and pulse width.
S. BUS TESTING
S.Bus protocol analysis, support up to 18 channels servo control data
analysis, servo receiver failure protection testing.
USB
When XT60i is connected to the battery, BG-8S could perform USB charging
function. USB charging, after 2 minutes without operation, display will turn
off, and light up to purple.
If current is more than 3A or power is more than 26 W, it will turn off USB
charging. If temperature is more than 60°C, it will stop charging until
temperature is lower than warning level. The recharge will start
automatically.Battery capacity and BattGo mark would appear only if a smart
battery is connected.
Lowest input voltage: For normal battery, if balance port is connected to
a single cell, protection voltage would be displayed as lowest input voltage,
if the balance port is not connected to a battery, total protection voltage
would be displayed as lowest input voltage. For smart battery, single cell
protection voltage would be always showed as lowest input voltage.

Devices without QC:
Cells balancing
When balance port is connected, user can initiate cells balancing task. During task, display will turn off, breath light will turn on within 20s, if no operation is detected. Battery capacity percentage, temperature BattGo mark will only show when smart battery is connected.
-
In balancing cells would show as yellow, and breath light is green during operation.
-
After balancing completed, left side would turn to blue, breath light would turn to blue.
WARNING
This battery checker is suitable for:
LiHv (1-8S) / LiPo (1-8S) / LiFe(1-8S) / Lilon (1-8S) / NiMH/Cd(1-10S); this
battery checker is suitable for the connection with balance port of battery.
While it is connected to the battery checker, negative electrode of the
balance port must start from“BAT“- . Reverse protection circuit is inside of
the BG-8S, no damage will cause to BG-8S while connected reversely. BG-8S is
designed for RC areas, please don’t use this on other purpose.
If the device is not used for long time, please disconnect BG-8S with your
battery to avoid over discharging your battery.
