The third type is special texture for polymer batteries. The fourth type is special texture for button batteries.
Fast response during charge-to-discharge
N5831 is designed with precision circuit to ensure fast and accurate charging and discharging transition. During the charging process, there is no overcharge during CC charging converting to CV charging, which can protect the DUT from being damaged.
Four-electrode measurement to reduce measuring error
The test fixtures supplied are with 4 electrodes. Two output electrodes are used to provide test current, and two measurement electrodes are used to measure battery voltage. Multi-electrode measurement not only improves the measurement accuracy, but also supports reference electrode test, which is suitable for the research of electrode materials.
