1Product Description

The PAT-Heater-4 is a heated docking station connecting up to 4 PAT-Cell-HT or PAT-Cell-Aqu-HT to

any potentiostat or battery tester. The working temperature is adjustable from 10°C above ambient

temperature up to 200°C.

The PAT-Heater-4 saves wiring effort, because it is not necessary to renew the connection between cell

and potentiostat for every battery test. At the same time, the easy-to-access banana sockets at the

side of the docking station allow to choose between full and half cell control.

Features

Heated chamber with temperature control from 10°C above ambient temperature up to

200°C

4 x 1 docking station for up to four PAT-Cell-HT or PAT-Cell-Aqu-HT

Compatible with all of today´s multi-channel potentiostats and battery testers

Can be placed on the bench or inside a glove box

Flexible wiring due to easy-to-access banana sockets
