Testing power supplies and batteries requires current loads capable of sinking large current and dissipating substantial amounts of power. A simple but accurate current load can be built using just a ...

It was based on a constant current source that is controlled by a DAC hooked up to the Arduino. By measuring both the resulting voltage and current of the load, the system can dynamically adapt to ...

However, monitoring discharge time using a simple resistor or a constant-current sink as a load yields an inaccurate result, particularly when you want to compare the performance of different battery ...

In his video [Afroman] describes how the LM317 can be used to regulate current rather than voltage to provide a constant current source under varying load.
