Gamry has the right instrument for your application. With the ever-increasing demand for portable power, batteries are becoming more and more important. As demands on battery performance increase, so do demands on the systems designed to test them. Gamry accepts the challenge and is equipped today to test the power systems of tomorrow.

2. TAKE TWO DIFFERENT METALS, PLACE AN ION TRANSPORTING MEDIUM
BETWEEN THEM, WIRE THEM UP TO BE CONNECTED OUTSIDE THE
ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION (PERHAPS TO A VOLTMETER OR
POTENTIOSTAT) AND YOU’VE MADE A BATTERY.
WITH THE EVER-INCREASING DEMAND FOR PORTABLE POWER,
BATTERIES ARE BECOMING MORE AND MORE IMPORTANT. AS
DEMANDS ON BATTERY PERFORMANCE INCREASE, SO DO DEMANDS
ON THE SYSTEMS DESIGNED TO TEST THEM. GAMRY ACCEPTS THE
CHALLENGE AND IS EQUIPPED TODAY TO TEST THE POWER SYSTEMS
OF TOMORROW.

3. Electrochemistry has come a long way from
potentiometric measurements, and battery
technologies have developed quite rapidly,
particularly in the last couple decades. What
remains constant is that batteries are—
materials science not withstanding—pure
electrochemical devices. Electrochemical
studies and potentiostats are critical to
battery research.
Battery engineers are tasked with producing
higher energy densities at lower prices, while
focusing on safety concerns. Furthermore,
secondary (rechargeable) batteries add
additional cycle-life requirements and testing.

7. Gamry has several electrochemical cells that
are good for various battery tests including
our new Lithium Battery Materials Cell Kit
Lithium Battery
Cell
The Lithium
Battery
Electrochemical
Cell Kit has been
designed for
electrochemical
testing of lithium
battery materials.
The electrodes
and holders are
designed to
hold foils and
electrode
materials in
different
configurations.
The cell was designed to
provide an air-tight seal
using the specially tapered
Teflon® joints. The main
purpose of this was to allow
for cell assembly inside a
glovebox followed by
removal for electrochemical
testing outside the glovebox.
