My goal here is to see an explanation of how the PD converter can cause the current to go down as the voltage goes up. I can't imagine how it would do that, and thought this was 100% controlled by the battery.
That's my goal here, also. Everything I read in the patents seem to confirm that to me. See my previous post. I don't think that explains anything, but I'll check it out once I verify that current does go down as voltage goes up.
I'd like to know what happens with a resistive load as you increase the resistance. At low values, I'd expect to see the current limit in effect and max current supplied - constant current behavior. As resistance increased, I'd expect to see higher voltages and the same current limit. At even higher resistance, I'd expect the output voltage to reach the limit and current to taper off as the resistance increased, with a constant voltage behavior.
If it does that with a resistive load, I'd expect to see that with a battery load.
