The B&K Precision BCS6402 is a powerful battery simulator, DC power supply and battery charger/discharger specifically designed for test applications with batteries and battery-powered devices. Thanks to its bidirectional capabilities, it can act as a current source or sink and enables comprehensive charging, discharging and simulation processes.
The Variant BCS6402 presented here has a maximum output of 150 W and can supply or absorb up to 5 A of current. It is suitable for applications with higher power requirements. The Variant BCS6401 offers two independent channels, allowing simultaneous charging and discharging. However, it only has 90 W.
