Manual for VMP300-based instruments
Test Box 3 is a tool for teaching and practice on linear
and non-linear electrochemical systems. This testing
box is made of three electrical circuits simulating real
electrochemical systems. Along with application
notes #8 and #9 Test Box 3 can be used to highlight
some commonly overlooked points about
electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.
Additionally, with Test Box 3 some general
electrochemistry protocols like Cyclic Voltammetry
and, corrosion techniques such as Linear Polarization
or Generalized Corrosion can also be practiced.

7.6 Temperature probe
To allow the user to measure temperature,
temperature probe (PN: 092-22/13) can be
connected to the auxiliary input/output of the
potentiostat board. The temperature probe is
fully controlled in EC-Lab
®
software.

7.7 Battery holders
7.7.1 Battery Holder: BH-1
This accessory is designed to make
battery testing easier. The holder is
modular and compatible with a wide
variety of battery types (coin cells,
18650 and 26650 cells). The BH-1
can accommodate up to 4 batteries
in pairs of two. Perfect contact of
the BH-1 connectors with the
battery poles is ensured with
spring-loaded connection points.
Each of the batteries is secured in
place by isolating separators
