2.3.1
Power Port Cable
The Power Port Cable conducts electric power between a
connected battery and the C8000. The Power Port Cable is used
only for power transfer, voltage measurement and temperature
reads – all other functions operate via the Auxiliary Input/Output
(I/O) cable.
To achieve better accuracy, the C8000 utilizes a four-wire design,
where the two main wires provide a path for charge and
discharge currents while the other two paths measure the voltage
as close to the battery as possible.
2.3.2
