2.3.4 Evaluating with Simulated Current

Section 3 describes connection for basic operation. Providing more than recognizable current in that configuration can require a power supply with a significant power rating. Applying a charge current can damage some power supplies. Figure 3-3 shows a method to force current through the control path without a high wattage power supply or special equipment. The load power supply must be set at a low voltage in a constant current mode. Polarity can be reversed on the load supply to simulate a charge current. The battery simulation supply must never be reversed.
