Another way to briefly see each mode on a scope is to connect a 1-mF
capacitor and a 10-k resistor on the output in place of a battery to observe
the power-up and cycling between voltage regulation and fast charge via the
refresh threshold.
Note:
Because of the battery-detection circuit, it is not possible to switch-in static
load resistors to jump between regulation and constant-current modes. An
alternate procedure described below uses a dynamic load to replace the
battery circuit. That procedure allows testing of each mode.
This is an alternative way of testing the EVM using a dynamic load board in
place of a battery. The circuit is adjusted to work with the displayed parts and
their inherent thresholds. The sequence of the test procedure is important
because of the active battery-detection circuit, refresh feature, and precharge
and fast-charge current levels (switching load in or out has different results in
different modes). No damage should occur, but results might be different than
anticipated if the procedure is altered.
