The PAT-Stand-1 is a docking station, which runs a single PAT-Cell or PAT-Cell-Press. It can be connected directly to a common multi-channel potentiostat (such as those from Ivium or PalmSens) or battery testers (like Ivium or BaSyTec) using 4mm banana sockets or a hardwired Sub-D socket. Therefore, the PAT-Stand-1 saves wiring effort, because it is not necessary to renew the connection of cell and potentiostat for every battery test.
The PAT-Stand-1 fits nicely into a usual climate chamber (for example Binder KB53), which saves space in the lab. Furthermore it is small enough to be placed inside a glovebox and allows immediate functional testing of the PAT-Cell. It is even possible to perform whole battery tests inside the glovebox.
If you want to perform individual battery tests before switching to the larger PAT-Stand-16 system, then the PAT-Stand-1 is the ideal entry docking station for you. And you can even reuse the PAT-Cell later in the larger PAT-Stand-16.
