4.1.3 Load #2 Between SYS and GND

Although not required, a resistive load capable of sinking up to 3 A can be used.

4.1.4 Meters

Three equivalent voltage meters (VM #) and two equivalent current meters (CM #) are required. The

current meters must be able to measure 3-A current.

4.1.5 Test Equipment Setup

1. For all power connections, use short, twisted-pair wires of appropriate gauge wire for the amount of the

current.

2. Set Power Supply #1 (PS #1) for 6-V, 3-A current limit and then turn off supply.

3. If BAT_Load as shown in Figure 8 is used, connect Power Supply #2 (PS #2) set to approximately 3.6

V to the input side (PS #2+/-) of BAT_Load, then turn off PS #2.

4. Connect the output side of the battery or BAT_Load in series with current meter to J12 (PACK+,

PACK-). Ensure that a voltage meter is connected across J12 (PACK+,PACK-).

5. Connect VM #3 across J5 (SYS, GND).

6. Ensure jumpers are at the default factory settings per Section 2.4

7. Connect I2C port of EV2300 with J10 board using the assembled 4 colored-wire connector included

with EV2300 kit (GND / BLACK at the bottom).

8. After the preceding steps have been performed, the test setup for PWR216 is configured as is shown

in Figure 8
