Max Power: 16W. Connect battery to I and I . 1 x Battery Capacity Tester (With Screws). Set the current: Turn the rotary switch to the "current" display mode. | eBay! _US $9.45 incl. shipping_ **Description:** TEC-06 is constant current electronic load.It uses high-precision DAC loop control technology to control output current for power supply or battery. So that the current does not change with the voltage changes.It is a load itself, no longer need another external load discharge. This is a linear electronic load, not a PWM mode TEC-06 will automatically calculate the product of discharge current and time , to detect the battery capacity. TEC-06 can also be used as an electronic load to verify the battery or power output capacity. **Parameter:** 1\>. Max Current: 3.5A; error: \<=0.5% 2\>. Max Power: 16W 3\>. Operating Temperature: -20~70 Celsius **Features:** 1\>. Can connect computer and draw discharge curve 2\>. Encoder switch (shuttle) operation, easy and convenient 3\>. Precise current, the full range error is within 0.5% 4\>. Integrated fan, discharge power can be up to 16W; and the fan will be auto on/off according to the power 5\>. Support 4-wire measurement, and it can measurement battery internal 6\>. Max connection voltage 15V, and power-off voltage can be adjusted randomly in the range of 1.0-12V; step length 0.05V 7\>. When the battery current is not enough, the detector will automatically adjust set current until the actual current meets the set value; when the actual current is lower than 40% set value, the detector will end up discharging. 8\>.
