6.4 Battery Mode
The battery test function of our DC load oers comprehensive assessment capabilities for battery performance
through the use of the constant current operation.
The process involves conguring the test mode and specifying discharge stop conditions. For our product
line, three distinct discharge stop conditions can be set. When users require testing under fewer stop
conditions, the system allows for easy adjustment of the remaining parameters. The test concludes
based on predened criteria such as discharging time, battery voltage, or capacity reaching specied
values or when an insecure state is detected.
Throughout the test, crucial information including battery voltage, discharge current, discharge time, and
discharged capability is prominently displayed on the visual interface for quick and insightful analysis.
This battery test function ensures a thorough evaluation of battery capabilities with user-friendly customization
options.
6.4.1 Battery Test Conguration
The 8550B series is capable of storing up to 10 Battery Test proles.
To congure a battery test prole:
Step 1. Press the + button to enter the Battery Prole menu.
Step 2. Use the numeric keypad to set the Range. Press the to conrm the current range for
the prole.
Step 3. Use the numeric keypad to set the CURRENT. Press the
to conrm the sink current
value of the prole.
Step 4. Use the numeric keypad to set the STOP VOLTAGE. Press the to conrm the voltage
level that will terminate the battery test.
Step 5. Use the numeric keypad to set the STOP CAP. Press the to conrm the battery
capacity level that will terminate the battery test.
Step 6. Use the numeric keypad to set the STOP TIMER. Press the to conrm the run time of
the battery test.
If any of the STOP parameters are not desired set the predened values (STOP
VOLT: 0V; STOP CAP: 999.999AH; STOP TIMER: 99999S) to ignore the stop
condition.
Step 7. Use the numeric keypad to assign a SAVE BATT FILE location. Press the to conrm
the internal memory location where the le will be stored.
