Batteries

Batteries are virtually the ultimate in an electrochemical device, so it comes as no surprise that, as a general rule, battery scientists understand electrochemistry very well and use electrochemistry as a routine tool to develop and improve their products.

Because of their electrochemical expertise, battery scientists demand both technical excellence and flexibility in their instruments.  Because of Gamry's expertise, battery scientists are a rapidly growing segment of Gamry's customer base. 

The PWR800 Electrochemical Energy Software is designed for the battery researcher.  The PWR800 is designed to take advantage of the high performance and versatility of the Reference 3000 Potentiostat, the preferred instrument for batteries.  The Auxiliary Electrometer Option in the Reference 3000 allows them to make EIS measurements on individual cells in a battery stack.   Electrochemists in the battery industry are knowlegeable users of EIS, so our EIS300 Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy is a popular tool.  They also like the Sequence Wizard that is built into the Gamry Framework Software.   And they appreciate Open Source Scripting, which allows Gamry software to be easily modified for custom applications. 

An example of an EIS analysis of a secondary alkaline battery can be found here, along with an interesting discussion of the modeling of the battery impedance results.
