The 8600 programmable DC electronic load provides the performance of modular system DC electronic loads in a compact benchtop form factor.
The 8600 programmable DC electronic load provides the performance of modular system DC electronic loads in a compact benchtop form factor.
With fast transient operation speeds up to 25 kHz, and high 16-bit measurement resolution and accuracy, these DC loads can be used for testing and evaluating a variety of DC sources such as DC power supplies, DC-DC converters, batteries, battery chargers, and photovoltaic arrays.
The DC electronic loads can operate in constant current (CC), constant voltage (CV), constant resistance (CR), and constant power (CW) mode. The instrument provides flexible triggering capabilities, analog current control and monitoring, and standard USB (USBTMC-compliant), GPIB, or RS-232 serial interfaces for remote communication.

A tool for charging and discharging batteries including sequencing and data logging.
Find out how to use the B&K Battery Test Software to charge and discharge batteries while logging charge and discharge data.
B&K Precision is pleased to announce three new user requested features with the Version 1.1.2 release!
Adds new test data to the end of the last file without overwriting the previous data.
Calculates and displays the wattage realtime. Watts data can also be used for stop conditions.
This is an experimental mode that makes it easy to set transitions in the electronic load. One application is evaluation of small battery packs used in portable devices. The software helps to simulate sleeping and wake states for battery life studies.
