Basic Source-Measure Operation
3-23
Do not attempt to charge or discharge batteries exceeding the current
or voltage requirements listed below:
Model 2400: 21V @ 1.05A or 210V @ 105mA
Model 2410: 21V @ 1.05A or 1100V @ 21mA
Model 2420: 21V @ 3.15A or 63V @ 1.05A
Model 2425: 21V @ 3.15A or 105V @ 1.05A
Model 2430: 105V @ 1.05A or 105V @ 10.5A (pulse mode)
Model 2440: 10.5v @ 5.25A or 42V @ 1.05A
When charging a battery, the SourceMeter is operating as a source. When discharging a
battery, the SourceMeter is operating as a sink. Use the V-Source to charge and discharge
batteries. Perform the following steps for both charging and discharging:
1.
Connect Input/Output HI to the positive (+) terminal of the battery and Input/
Output LO to the negative (-) terminal of the battery.
2.
Configure the SourceMeter to source voltage and measure current.
3.
Set I-compliance to the current level at which the battery is to be charged or
discharged.
4.
Select an appropriate current measurement range or use AUTO range.
Battery charging
— To charge the battery, program the SourceMeter to output a
voltage that is equivalent to the voltage rating of the battery. For example, to charge
a 10V battery, set the SourceMeter to source 10V. As the battery fully charges, cur-
rent will decrease until it reaches zero or near zero (battery charged).
CAUTION
When the SourceMeter goes into compliance, the V-source becomes an
I-source (or the I-source becomes a V-source). For this reason, make
sure the voltage compliance is higher than the battery voltage. See
Section 6
for more details.
Battery discharging
— To discharge the battery, program the SourceMeter to out-
put 0V. In this configuration, the SourceMeter operates as a sink to discharge the
battery. Current from the battery flows into the HI terminal of the SourceMeter
resulting in negative current measurements. As the battery discharges, current will
gradually decrease until it reaches zero (battery discharged).
NOTE
When using the V-Source to charge and discharge batteries, use the HIGH-
IMPEDANCE output-off state (
Section 13
). This output-off state opens the out-
put relay when the OUTPUT is turned off. This open circuit condition keeps the
external battery from discharging while the output is off.
