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 64-Channel Charger/Discharger cards.
When fully loaded each mainframe has 256 input/output channels. Mainframes and modules can be
combined in different configurations to form a low cost, high performance cell charge/discharge station
in a cell manufacturing process.
The following figure is a simplified block diagram of the Agilent MCCD System. It is followed by a brief
description of the system’s basic as well as advanced features.
