Description
Run a product from a real cell and every test starts with a slightly different battery. The Keithley 2302 battery simulator removes that variable, because one controlled output, up to 15 V and 5 A, stands in for the cell. Lost in HCM lists it for rental and sale and arranges service on request.
Keithley 2302 battery simulator: one output, no real cell
Cells age, warm up and arrive at different charge levels. A bench output does none of that. As a result, two engineers can repeat the same test a month apart and compare the data fairly. The Keithley 2302 battery simulator gives both of them the same starting point. GPIB control also lets a script drive the simulator, so a long run needs no one at the bench.
What 100 nA of sensitivity tells you
Battery-powered products spend most of their lives asleep, drawing very little current. The listing gives the Keithley 2302 battery simulator a current sensitivity of 100 nA. That is fine enough to watch a device at rest. In short, you can spot a stray draw before it shortens field life.

Setting up a 2302 test
First, check that your device stays inside 15 V and 5 A. Then ask Lost in HCM about the AC line option, cables, fixture and the software that talks to GPIB. Check polarity, grounding and protection settings on your own circuit, and follow the current Keithley manual for safe limits. The product photo shows a related Keithley battery and charger simulator, so use it as a series reference.
Rent or buy the 2302
Rent it for a product launch, a firmware sprint or a charger comparison. Buy the Keithley 2302 battery simulator if your lab runs battery-life checks every week. In either case, request a quote from Lost in HCM with your dates and site. You can also look through the power supply listings, see Tektronix for Keithley information, or contact SMK Vietnam.
Keithley 2302 questions
Does the 2302 have two outputs?
No. The listing shows one output. For two outputs, look at the 2306, which Lost in HCM lists as a dual-channel charger and simulator.
Which interface does it use?
The listing names GPIB.
Can it charge a battery?
The listing calls it a battery simulator, so ask Lost in HCM to confirm charging before you plan around it.
