IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the power source, you must specify the
power source’s voltage and current cutoffs before charging for the first time
with a DC power supply, and before charging for the first time from a battery.
After that, update the power source’s operating characteristics any time you
change to a different DC power supply or battery. You can also specify cutoffs
in the CCS Supply tab.
