1 General Information Agilent MCCD System Capabilities The Agilent Multi-Cell Charger/Discharger (MCCD) System has been designed to address the unique requirements and needs of lithium-ion cell manufacturing. The Agilent MCCD System can accurately charge, discharge, and measure lithium ion cells. It consists of an Agilent E4370A Multi-Cell Charger/Discharger mainframe with up to four Agilent E4374A or E4375A 64-Channel Charger/Discharger cards. When fully loaded each mainframe has 256 input/out

1 - General Information Basic Functions ♦ Charger – The Agilent MCCD can deliver accurately controlled current and voltage into a cell for proper forming. Each cell is independently paced through the cell forming sequence. This means that some cells can be charging and others discharging if they are at different points in the sequence. ♦ Discharger – The Agilent MCCD can draw accurately controlled current from a cell for both forming and capacity measurement. ♦ Measurement – The Agilent MCCD can

E4372A General Information - 1 The Agilent E4371A Powerbus Load has a + and a − power bus connector on its rear panel. There is also a ground connection. To meet safety requirements, connect the ground terminal of the Agilent Powerbus Load to the ground terminal of the external dc source. The load receives its operating power from the power bus. If the dc voltage on the power bus drops below 22.8 volts, or if there is no power available on the power bus, the load will not operate. Note that the

1 - General Information External Power Source For the charging cycle, each Agilent MCCD mainframe requires an external dc power source to power the cells. The external power source connects to the power bus terminals on the back of the mainframe. It must be rated at 24 volts and be able to source 125% of the required cell charging power. For example, to provide the cell charging power for a 256-channel system at 5.5 volts, 2 amperes per channel (or 2.8 kW), the dc power source must deliver appro

General Information - 1 sensing over local sensing is that when the remote sense leads are connected to the cell, the actual voltage of the cell will be measured. Any voltage drops in the load leads will not affect the measurement. Refer to chapter 2 under "Remote Sensing" for more information. NOTE: If your Agilent MCCD system is configured for local sensing, the measured output voltage may not reflect the actual voltage at the cell. This is because any voltage drops in the wires due to wire re

1 - General Information Cell Resistance In addition to continuous voltage, current, and capacity measurements, the Agilent MCCD can also measure ac and dc cell resistance. This measurement is available on command when a sequence is not running, or as its own step in the forming sequence. The Agilent MCCD measures the ac cell resistance by first disconnecting the charge/discharge circuits from all cells. An ac waveform generator in the Agilent MCCD mainframe is connected sequentially to each cel

If ∆ V is set to 100 mV, then each time the voltage reading changes by more than 100 mV from the last logged entry, a record is written to the buffer.

1 - General Information Internal Protection Functions There are internal relays between the power bus and the Agilent E4374A/E4375A Charger/Discharger cards. These relays protect the Agilent MCCD from overvoltage and undervoltage conditions on the power bus. They also protect the Agilent MCCD if an external fault condition is detected. Output regulators include several features to protect the cell from failures in the hardware. Internal circuits connected in series with each channel protect the
