The cells must be connected in the following order:
1. 4-Cell Pack: 1N (BAT-), 1P, 2P, 3P, then 4P (see
for definitions).
2. 3-Cell Pack: 1N (BAT-), 1P, 2P, and then connect 4P and 3P together.
3. 2-Cell Pack: 1N (BAT-), 1P, and then connect 4P, 3P, and 2P together
To start charge or discharge test, connect SYS PRES pin to PACK- pin to set SYS PRES state. To test
sleep mode, disconnect the SYS PRES pin.
