BD380 has four operating modes, and each operating mode has distinct use cases. Constant Current (CC) Mode In this mode, the BD380 maintains a constant current output regardless of changes in resistance or voltage. This mode emphasizes the constant current flow for predictable energy depletion, ideal for precise capacity testing and battery health assessment.
Constant Power (CP) Mode CP mode allows the BD380 to deliver a constant power output irrespective of variations in voltage or current. It is beneficial for reflecting the ability to maintain constant power output, adapting to the needs of diverse applications requiring steady power delivery.
OPERATION 1. Connect the battery to the BD380. Once connected, the BD380 will power on and start up. 2. Choose one of the four operating modes you need. 3. Setting parameters such as discharge time and cutoff voltage for discharging via the knob.
APP CONTROL BD380 is equipped with a built-in Bluetooth module, allowing it to be connected and controlled using a mobile phone. You can easily achieve this by downloading the app "SkyCharger", which is available for free on Google Play and the App Store.
