HELLO
I tried to connect a type C plug with a 5 volt laptop power supply and as soon as I start the discharge it cuts off and turns back on!
What type of external power supply do you need? 5 volts? Do you have a compatible model?
Thanks

So, you try to discharge a one cell laptop battery? Or do you want to test the 5V power suppply? As far as i know the minimum input voltage of the BD380 is 5.9V, so you can only use 2S-7S lipos (5.9V - 30V)

[@laurentsosson1739]

thanks for the quick response
in fact I want to do a 1S discharge on li-ions (max discharge 3.3 volts but look on the instructions it talks about being able to go down to 3 volts by connecting a type C plug at the back! I don't understand well!

[@RC-Overkill]

@@laurentsosson1739 after checking the manual, you're right. It should be able to discharge to 3 volts, when there's a power supply connected. Maybe try a another power supply with higher voltage >5V...

[@laurentsosson1739]

exactly I don't know what voltage it is not indicated!
I tested on a type C socket with a Samsung 2A charger but it doesn't work I thought that USB was limited to 5 volts no more

@@laurentsosson1739 USB C is a multi voltage standard, Laptop USB C chargers can output 19 volts and 5 volts for example. So you might want to use a different power supply.
