Keithley 2306 | Battery Simulator

The Keithley 2306 is a dual-channel instrument engineered for simulating batteries in small devices. It features fast transient response for realistic battery behavior, making it suitable for dynamic load tests on products like smartphones and medical devices. One channel is dedicated to battery simulation and the other channel can be utilized for battery charging or as an auxiliary power source. The Keithley 2306 supports pulse testing modes essential for assessing battery life under realistic usage patterns, including talk and standby modes.

Programmable features allow users to customize battery discharge profiles, thereby enabling thorough testing under varied conditions without the need for multiple batteries. With integration capabilities through GPIB and RS232 interfaces, the Keithley 2306 ensures seamless automation for advanced test setups.
