Note: Do not solder the connecting wires and battery terminals directly. Use spot welding.
-
Connect the 10 kΩ NTC thermistor to TEMP and VSS. To measure more reliable cell temperature, attach temperature
sensing part to the battery using sticky tape as shown in Figure 7. If the battery pack has a built-in thermistor, this can be
used instead.

Discharge cell voltage curve measurement with an external load device
-
Charge the target battery to full charge using an external charger.
-
Connect the battery and an external load device. The load device may be a power supply instrument or user’s application.
The STR-SMARTLIBGAUGE-GEVK requires that the load device approximately discharge the battery with constant
current or constant power.
For example, if an application has an efficient power supply such a DC-DC converter, it may discharge the battery with
constant power.
