Battery Test Function
Battery test principle (as shown in Figure 2-36):
A test for discharging the battery in CC mode. You can set the termination conditions:
cut-off voltage value, battery capacity value, and discharge time. When any one of
the three conditions is met, the discharge stops. Then the load automatically stops
sinking. When only one or two condition(s) is/are selected as the termination
condition(s) for the battery test, set the rest termination conditions not in use to be
"OFF".
Figure 2-36 Battery Test Function
The battery test can reflect the reliability of the battery and the remaining battery life.
Therefore,
before replacing the battery, do the battery test first.
Operation Procedures:
1. Power on the instrument
Press the Power key
on the front panel to power on the instrument.
2. Connect the battery to the channel input terminals of the load
Connect the battery to the channel input terminals on the front panel of the load
as shown in Figure 2-2.
CAUTION
While making a connection, the positive polarity of the load should
be connected to the (+) terminal of the channel output, and the
negative polarity of the load to the (-) terminal of the channel
output. A misconnection with the terminals may cause damage to
the instrument or the DUT.
3. Set channel parameters
Press APP to switch to the main interface of Battery test function, as shown in
Figure 2-37. "Battery" is active at the top of the main interface.
