BCS6402

BCS6402 is a single channel battery charger/simulator and precision DC power supply optimized for testing batteries and battery-operated devices. It features source/sink capabilities, a bipolar output, and variable output impedance to charge, discharge, or simulate batteries used in portable and wearable electronic devices. The battery function can be set to charge, discharge, or simulator mode. In charge mode these instruments source power with configurable stop conditions. The output can be configured to provide electrical isolation from connected batteries preventing parasitic drain when charging is complete. In discharge mode, these instruments act as a load to sink power up to 150W. These two modes are useful for battery charge-discharge cycle testing or evaluating charger circuits under load. In simulator mode, it offers control over these conditions with configurable capacity, voltage, and resistance points to evaluate device behavior under various simulated battery conditions.
