Page 3: Product Description
1 Product Description The ECC-Press test cell is dedicated to the measurement of the pressure build-up during the electrochemical cycle. The low-dead-volume sampling port/valve serves to draw gas samples from the cell’s headspace. The cell hardware is based on the ECC-Std and ECC-Ref test cells and can be used with or without a reference electrode. -

Contact the factory if anything is missing or damaged. NOTE: Damaged shipments must remain with the original packaging for freight company inspection. List of Components 1. ECC-Press test cell with pressure sensor, fully equipped for use in both 2-electrode and 3-electrode (reference) configuration 2. -
Page 8: Assembly And Connection
Load the feed-through hole of the Ref sleeve with a small amount of lithium metal with the aid of a metal wire. A dedicated tool is optionally available to ease the procedure (https://el-cell.com/products/tools-accessories/ecc- refload). Insert the Ref sleeve into the cell base. - Page 9 For best results, place the ECC-Press inside a temperature controlled chamber, at a constant temperature between -20 to +70°C. The chamber needs to have a feed- through for cable connection to the controller box outside the chamber. Inside the chamber, attach the square sensor plug to the pressure sensor, and connect the 2 mm banana plugs of the cell cable to the cell (red and green to the lid, blue and yellow to the base, black to the reference).

Page 10: Sample Valve With Septum Port
T = 8°C/V * Voltage 6 Sample Valve with Septum Port The gas sample valve serves to draw gas samples from the head space of the ECC test cell. In the closed state, the valve spindle is seated on the PTFE ferrule and is thus preventing any bleeding through the pierced septum. -

7 Software Installation (DL option) The ECC-Press-DL features an integrated USB data logger for recording cell pressure, temperature, cell potentials and current. The software installation on a ® Windows PC is described below. a. You must be logged into an account with Administrator privileges. -
Page 12: Recording The Pressure Signal With An External Potentiostat
Many of today’s battery testers and potentiostats provide additional analog inputs that may be used to record sensor signal along with cell current and potential. In the following, the combination of the ECC-Press-DL with a Biologic potentiostat (MPG-2, SP, VSP and VMP series) is described as an example. The Biologic potentiostats feature two analog inputs that are used here to record both pressure and temperature. -
Page 13: Disassembly And Cleaning
9 Disassembly and Cleaning Right after use, disassemble the cell in the reverse order of assembly. Note that the reference pin MUST be detached before the Ref sleeve can be removed. All chemicals used have to be disposed properly. All wetted parts are to be cleaned with water and/or other appropriate solvents. -
