At the heart of Spark Analyzer's design is a commitment to reliability and performance. To ensure that Spark Analyzer stands up to real-world demands, we subjected it to testing under use conditions.
Under a load condition of 3A at 9V, Spark Analyzer showcased its robust power delivery capabilities without any hitches.
Even at its maximum voltage output of 20V with a 1.5A load, Spark Analyzer continued to perform seamlessly, demonstrating its versatility and reliability.
Safety and efficiency are paramount. We took a thermal image of the board under these testing conditions to ensure that all components remained within safe temperature limits. The results were impressive: the entire board stayed cool, with the warmest component being the ESP32 microcontroller, which only reached around 40°C.
These tests underscore Spark Analyzer's commitment to delivering a product that is not only feature-rich but also reliable, safe, and efficient. With Spark Analyzer, you're investing in a device that's been tried and tested to ensure optimal performance under all conditions.
