In order to connect and operate a PAT-Cell with a potentiostat, the cell is simply inserted
into the socket of a PAT docking station. Only the docking station itself is permanently wired
to the potentiostat, the PAT-Cells themselves are cableless. In this way, the connection to
the potentiostat no longer has to be renewed and checked before each test.
In principle, all PAT-Cells can be used in any docking station to test basic electrical
properties such as capacity and impedance. The only exception is the high temperature
docking station, the PAT-Heater-4, which can only be used with specially designed PAT-
Cell-HT test cells.
Many docking stations also support additional functions of the more specialized members of
the PAT series, such as the measurement of the gas pressure with the PAT-Cell-Press.
The main difference between PAT docking stations is the number of connection sockets for
the test cells. The smallest docking station, the PAT-Clamp-1, has a single socket, the
largest ones offer space for up to 16 PAT-Cells. The PAT-Chamber-16 also offers an
integrated temperature chamber to test PAT-Cells at temperatures between +10 and +80°
Celsius.
PAT docking stations can be connected and operated with all currently available
potentiostats or battery cyclers.
