Solution for battery-powered
device designers
TheAgilentN6783A-BATBattery
Charge/Discharge Module is a
basic, 2-quadrant module designed
to be used by battery-powered
(mobile) device designers. During
the research and development of
a mobile device it is necessary to
properly validate the battery that
will be used in the final design,
especially if the design calls for the
battery to be permanently installed.
Batteryvalidationrequirescharging
and discharging the battery while
making measurements of voltage
and current to ensure it meets its
specifications and will operate in
the device as expected.
TheN6783A-BAT’s2-quadrant
operation allows it to act as a power
supply to charge the battery or as
an electronic load to discharge the
battery. Its built-in, digitizing mea-
surement system allows accurate
measurements over the short and
Application Specific DC Power Supplies tailored solutions for specific needs
