I am investigating how to test cells and packs - I will need to charge and discharge.
If I have a programmable electronic load, rather than purely resistive loads, is this an unrealistic way to discharge batteries? I gather they use power MOSFETS and switch them to product the desired output current from the batteries. I think this implies some transients at some frequency. Does it matter? Can I mitigate the effect with lots of capacitors? Or whatever else I have not thought of... (Please bear with me going forward, I have a lot of questions in the same vein.)
