Page 4: Product Description
ECC-Ref 1 Product description The ECC-Ref Electrochemical Cell is a standard test cell for the characterization of lithium ion battery systems as well as other aprotic chemistries. With the ECC cell design we have adapted the advantages of the industry’s standard coin cell while avoiding its serious shortcomings for everyday lab usage. - Page 5 User Manual ECC-Ref Adjustable, reproducible and homogeneous mechanical pressure on electrodes FED9015 (Standard) FED9020 Spring load on stack FED9021 vs. stack thickness for different springs. Standard is FED9015. 1000 Thickness of electrode stack / µm Materials in media contact are stainless steel 316L and PEEK (other materials on request) ...

Page 6: Ecc-Ref Assembly
User Manual ECC-Ref 2 ECC-Ref assembly In order to operate the test cell with a reference, the small feed -through hole of the REF sleeve is to be loaded with a piece of the reference material, e.g. metallic lithium. Alternatively, the feed-through hole is first loaded with a piece of fibre cloth serving as an electrolyte “wick”, and only then with the reference electrod e material. - Page 7 User Manual ECC-Ref Reference electrode ECC, assy Feed through hole Note: By default, the REF sleeve comes with a 0.3 mm diameter bore. Depending on the reference or “wick” material used, it may be required to enlarge this bore. This can easily be done free-handed with the aid of a drill-bit.
- Page 8 User Manual ECC-Ref 2.2 Assembly Steps for using a lithium REF and a non-lithium CE (For using a lithium CE, see page 13): Pick up a small piece of lithium by a metal wire, and press the lithium into the feed-through hole of the REF sleeve until the lithium just arrives at the inner face of the sleeve, not less, not more.
- Page 9 User Manual ECC-Ref Mount the locking washer to align the side opening of the cell base with the feed-through hole of the REF sleeve. Attach the REF electrode to the cell base. Place the 18 mm counter electrode into the sleeve.

- Page 12 User Manual ECC-Ref Attach the cell lid. Insert the cell into the bracket by pressing down the lid while pushing the cell into the bracket. Tighten cell by turning the wing nut. Note: The adequate amount of electrolyte depends on the porosity and thickness of the components used.
- Page 13 User Manual ECC-Ref 2.3 Assembly Steps for using a lithium CE When using lithium metal as the counter electrode, we recommend following the modified procedure given below. Pick up a small piece of lithium by a metal wire, and press the lithium into the feed - through hole of the REF sleeve until the lithium just arrives at the inner face of the sleeve.

Page 14: Disassembly And Cleaning
User Manual ECC-Ref 3 Disassembly and Cleaning After use, disassemble the test cell in the reverse order of assembly. Note that the reference pin MUST be detached before the REF sleeve can be removed. Dispose elec trodes and electrolyte properly. Clean wetted cell parts with deionized water and/or other appropriate detergent wash and solvent. -
