5.2.6.2 Setting the Limiter
1. Setting Types
Two types of limiter settings are available; one is ±Balance setting. This sets the same absolute value
on the bipolars, + and -; the other is Separate setting. This sets different value on each polarity.
For more information on these settings, refer to Section 2.2.2, “Setting Limiter Value.”
2. Set Range
For the HI limiter and the LO limiter values, the ranges are always the same.
The set values are set in the optimal range.
3. Separate Setting Operation
Setting both HI limiter and LO limiter values to + (positive) voltage can be used for rechargeable bat-
tery charge and discharge testing.
Figure 5-13 Rechargeable Battery Charge and Discharge Operations
Setting the HI limiter value for constant voltage charging, and the LO limiter value for discharging
termination voltage, provides CV/CC operation as in Figure 5-13.
NOTE: From an external device applying higher voltage than the HI limiter value or lower voltage than
the LO limiter value sets overload (OVL) and then Standby.
For example, connecting a battery of lower voltage than LO limiter voltage results in overload
(OVL) and then Standby.
