User Manual ECC-Std Features High precision 18 mm diameter sandwich geometry with <0.1 mm electrode concentricity Reliable sealing with PE seals and 4-fold cutting rings Easy and reliable electrolyte filling Fast assembly and dismantling, and easy cleaning of cell components ...
ECC-Std 2 ECC-Std assembly The ECC-Std electrochemical cell may be assembled either with thick glass fiber or with thin technical separator (such as Celgard 2325). Hereafter the two modes are referred to as AAA mode (with the glass fiber separator and and the two adjacent electrodes having the same 18 mm diameter) or ABA mode (with the separator being oversized compared to the two ad jacent electrodes).

User Manual ECC-Std 2.1 Safety precautions Use proper safety precautions when using hazardous electrode materials and electrolytes. Wear protective glasses and gloves to protect you against electrolyte that may accidentally spill out during disassembly. Upon cell disassembly, dispose all materials properly. Metallic lithium and some insertion compounds may decompose heavi ly in contact with water and other solvents, and can cause fire.

User Manual ECC-Std 2.3 Assembly Steps for ABA full cell mode This procedure is recommended for standard Li-ion battery materials in combination with thin technical separators like Celgard 2325 (25 µm thick). In the ABA assembly mode the two electrodes are both 18 mm, and the separator is 24 mm in diameter in order to prevent a short circuit along the edge of the separator.
User Manual ECC-Std 10. Again, grab the plunger/sleeve assembly and support the plunger with your fingert ip. Then push the cell base (with the anode and separator located inside) over the assembly, press onto the plunger, and turn the cell into the upright position.
