Everything you need


Reliability

Controlled clamping & pressure regulation with high mechanical stability for long-term cycling. Stable, repeatable test conditions.

 

Advanced Measurements

Track force, thickness, and temperature together during cycling. Watch pressure build up as cells swell. See thermal gradients develop during fast charging.

 

Experimental Flexibility

Two Testing Modes: Fixed-thickness mode mimics rigid battery packs—measure swelling forces. Fixed-pressure mode maintains constant compression—study volume changes.

 

Compatibility

Small footprint - fits in environmental chambers. Compatible with any battery cycler.

 

Unified Software

One application controls everything. Plug-and-play sensor integration Real-time visualization as experiments run. Export to CSV and sync with your cycler data using Python, MATLAB, Origin, Excel and others.


Modular Economy

Sensors can be detached and used across multiple test stations without affecting running measurements. Enables continuous or intermittent monitoring and optimized laboratory resource allocation.

Description

All-in-one battery pouch cell testing station

Modern battery research demands multi-parameter characterization where understanding the relationships between mechanical, thermal, and electrochemical phenomena drives fundamental insights. Advanced material systems—silicon anodes, solid-state electrolytes, lithium-metal configurations, and next-generation thermal interface materials—require correlated analysis that traditional single-parameter approaches cannot provide.


This integrated platform addresses these requirements by providing synchronized measurement infrastructure that eliminates multi-instrument complexity. The system delivers comprehensive, datasets essential for both mechanistic studies and data-driven development methodologies, including machine learning approaches that require high-quality timeseries data with precise parameter correlation.


Applications


Advanced Chemistry Development

Silicon anodes, solid-state electrolytes, lithium/sodium metal systems. Characterize volumetric expansion dynamics and interfacial pressure evolution.

Formation & Cycling Studies

Long-term aging characterization with continuous mechanical-thermal monitoring. Track degradation mechanisms and capacity fade correlations.

Pressure-Dependent Performance

Systematic investigation of electrochemical performance as function of applied stack pressure. Optimize manufacturing constraints

Degradation & Swelling Analysis

Quantify gas evolution, mechanical stress accumulation, and thermal event precursors during accelerated aging protocols.

Fixed gap and fixed force modes


This fixture can monitor both force and thickness changes simultaneously during battery cycling. However, the actual response would depend on assembly of holder - either with springs to stabilise pressure, or without springs to prevent cell expansion. Choose setup mode depending on what you want to test.

Fixed gap

Rigid frame — cell thickness fixed, force varies


> Measure pressure build-up & swelling

> Study gas evolution

> Simulate pack conditions with rigid constraints

Fixed force

Spring-loaded — force constant, thickness varies


> Standardized testing conditions

> Investigating volume changes

> Evaluate cycle life under optimal pressure

What's included

The platform centers on a precision pouch cell holder that provides mechanical stability and electrical connections. Three sensor modules attach to capture synchronized measurements: force (compression and swelling), thickness (dimensional changes), and temperature. All sensors connect via USB to Omnisense software for coordinated data acquisition and visualization. The modular design enables flexible sensor configurations for different experimental requirements.
