BattGO Technology Overview

Welcome to the overview of BattGO technology. This is a new concept introduced by ISDT to create a smart battery. The video also contains a battery teardown to show what a BattGO chip looks like.

Very nice video. Do you have a view of the PCB's back side? The alarms work on voltage level and over temperature but not current. To verify the voltage readings you need to use a calibrated device. Just comparing one by the other will not work.

Their website says BattGO technology works with 1S to 8S but there's not enough connections on that board ?

I am not sure which board exactly you are referring to but I can't see a reason why it wouldn't work if we had a BattGO battery connected to a compatible device. Of course, if we only had a 6S charger for example it most likely won't work properly with an 8S battery when it comes to charging even though it might still show the individual cell voltages thanks to the BattGO chip. It's hard to tell and this is pure speculation as I haven't tested it and have no way to perform such a test simply because there are no 8S BattGO batteries on the market. Also, I don't see anyone installing an extra BattGO chip on 1S or 2S batteries as that wouldn't make much sense considering the extra weight on such small cells. Definitely doable but not practical. Having said all above this is not relevant, really, as it doesn't look like the technology has been adopted by the industry and there are still only two 4s batteries available on the market after almost a year since the tech was introduced. Luckily the ISDT products are very good and perform well. Which means that even though the inclusion of BattGO technology will not be relevant to most potential users it shouldn't be a deciding factor when picking a charger.
