Regenerative discharge

Regenerative discharge routes most of the energy from the pack being discharged back
into the Lead Acid battery powering the PowerLab 6. This feature is only available when
the PowerLab 6 is powered from a Lead Acid battery. Regenerative discharge supports
up to 40A, 1000W maximum.

Regenerative discharge

Enable/disable regenerative discharge at the PowerLab 6 via

Smart Power

Management

for the supply battery.

Enable/disable regenerative discharge, and set maximum discharge current and

maximum discharge voltage, in the CCS

Supply tab

. Remember also to set supply

battery low voltage cutoff and maximum output current for charge cycles.

PowerLab 6 automatically determines whether it is connected to a Lead Acid battery or a
DC power supply. If it detects a power supply, it switches to internal discharge (10mA to
8A, 50W maximum).
