The PAT-Tester-i-16 is a state-of-the-art multi-channel battery tester specially developed for the requirements of battery material research. A multi-channel potentiostat combined with temperature chamber and El-Cell’s patented PAT Cell technology for cable-free cell connection make a unique tool for battery research and testing. Already have your own potentiostat? See here for the chamber-only PAT-Chamber-16.
No Wiring Required!
Cableless connection for battery test cells. Simply plug in your PAT-Cells to the connection socket which interacts directly with the measurement electronics. No cable tangles or interference signals.
The Connection Matrix and Other Unique Timesavers!
Measure voltage and impedance simultaneously, switch between half-cell and full-cell measurements at runtime without rewiring, and edit the parameters of your test scripts on the fly. These and other features help you to carry out electrochemical measurements more easily and efficiently.
The Connection Matrix
The PAT-Tester-i-16 comes equipped with a Connection Matrix on each test channel. This feature allows software-controlled switching between half-cell and full-cell measurements without reconnecting cables during the running measurement. As demonstrated in this example, the Connection Matrix minimizes potential sources of error and simplifies various tasks, such as the prelithiation of reference electrodes.
AC or DC? PAT-Tester-i-16 does both!
The internal impedance analyzer on each test channel can simultaneously record the impedances of both half-cells while performing constant current cycles or voltammetric experiments. Acquire the DC and AC characteristics of your test cells at the same time! Check out our example test case.
On-the-fly script editing
Would you like to change the test script in your ongoing experiment? No problem. With the supplied EL-Software control software, you can effortlessly change any of your test script parameters, even while your measurements are running.
