CBH-4 / CBH-8

CBH-4 and CBH-8 are 4 and 8-position battery holders, respectively, dedicated to large and high power cylindrical battery cells.

PBH-4 / PBH-8

4 and 8-channel holders are available for small pouch cells up to 32 A. These holders have 4-point connection allowing high accuracy measurements.

PPBH-132 / PPBH-1100

This 4-point measurement single channel holder is available in two versions, depending on the demanded maximum current: 32 or 100 A. Thanks to an adaptable tablet the same holder can be used for prismatic and flat pouch cells.

CCH

This simple coin cell holder allows to test simultaneously 4 coin cells. It is compatible with MPG2 and VMP3 multichannel potentiostat/galvanostat. 4 of these are needed reach 16 simultaneous experiments.

CCH-8

The CCH-8 is an 8 position coin holder designed for 20 and 24 mm coin cells, with a maximum thickness of 3.2 mm. Its 4 point connection provides low connection impedance, necessary for accurate AC and DC tests.

PBH-125 / PBH-150

Two versions are available for pouch cell testing, one with a maximum current of 25 A, and another with a maximum current of 50 A. The 4-point connection of these holders allows high-accuracy measurements.
