Battery Chemistries: all standard types: Li-based: Li-ion, Li-Phosphate; Lead Acid; Ni-based: NiMH, NiCd
Battery Capacity Range: 50mAh to 1000Ah
Battery Voltage Range: Nominal 1.2V-36V (max 45V total) supports serial connection of: Up to 10 Li-ion cells (3.6V/cell); Up to 18 Lead Acid cells (2.0V/cell); Up to 30 Nickel-based cells (1.2V/cell).
Maximum Charge Power: 100W per channel, 400W total
Maximum Discharge Power: 80W per channel, 320W total. 160W per channel pair using Dual Power Port cable. External Load may be used to increase discharge up to 2400W.
Maximum Charge/Discharge Current: 30mA to 10A set in 1mA increments. 20A maximum discharge rate using Dual Power Port cable. External Load may be used to increase discharge up to 240A
Output Frequency: Square 2kHz (500 microseconds)
Accuracy: Voltage = 0.1%, Current = 0.25% full scale
Power Management: Current automatically scaled down if power limits are exceeded. Message indicates scaled test.
Charge Methods: Charge methods are dependent upon chemistry: Li-ion & Lead Acid = constant voltage with a current limit. Nickel-based = constant current with optional Reverse Load Charge method.
Discharge Methods: Constant current / Constant power
Input Power: 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz
