ECC-Ref
Electrochemical battery test cell with reference electrode
Make the move to the PAT-Cell
Our PAT series test cells offer many advantages over their ECC predecessors:
No more drying and cleaning of cell components
Superior half-cell impedance measurements due to the ring-shaped reference electrode
Improved sealing concept for much better long-term stability (See sample test here)
Easy-to-use cableless design. Just insert it into a PAT battery tester and start your measurement.

The ECC-Ref electrochemical cell is dedicated to the characterization of aprotic battery and capacitor systems in three-electrode configuration. A typical application is the characterization of a full lithium-ion battery (e.g. graphite anode and lithium metal oxide cathode) with a lithium metal reference. A re-fitting kit is available to use the ECC-Ref cell in two-electrode configuration, thus converting the ECC-Ref into the ECC-Std test cell.
Cell parts that come in contact with the electrolyte are made of stainless steel and PEEK and can thus withstand all common aprotic organic electrolytes used in lithium-ion battery and aprotic supercapacitor technology. Current collectors are also available in many other metals like 316L (1.4404), gold and tantalum.
