Introduction

The Wattcrafts  80×110mm (A7) Pouch Cell Holder with Complete Testing Modules is a complete testing bundle combining our pouch cell holder with force, thickness, and temperature sensor modules, plus practical accessories like a leveling tool, torque wrench, spare pads, and USB hub. Everything you need for multi-parameter battery characterization in one package.

Modern battery research demands multi-parameter characterization where understanding the relationships between mechanical, thermal, and electrochemical phenomena drives fundamental insights. Advanced material systems—silicon anodes, solid-state electrolytes, lithium-metal configurations, and next-generation thermal interface materials—require correlated analysis that traditional single-parameter approaches cannot provide.

This integrated platform addresses these requirements by providing synchronized measurement infrastructure that eliminates multi-instrument complexity. The system delivers comprehensive, datasets essential for both mechanistic studies and data-driven development methodologies, including machine learning approaches that require high-quality timeseries data with precise parameter correlation.

Key Features

Reliability

Controlled clamping & pressure regulation with high mechanical stability for long-term cycling. Stable, repeatable test conditions.

Advanced Measurements

Track force, thickness, and temperature together during cycling. Watch pressure build up as cells swell. See thermal gradients develop during fast charging.

Experimental Flexibility

Two Testing Modes: Fixed-thickness mode mimics rigid battery packs—measure swelling forces. Fixed-pressure mode maintains constant compression—study volume changes.

Compatibility

Small footprint - fits in environmental chambers. Compatible with any battery cycler.

Unified Software

One application controls everything. Plug-and-play sensor integration Real-time visualization as experiments run. Export to CSV and sync with your cycler data using Python, MATLAB, Origin, Excel and others.

Modular Economy

Sensors can be detached and used across multiple test stations without affecting running measurements. Enables continuous or intermittent monitoring and optimized laboratory resource allocation.

Applications

Advanced Chemistry Development

Silicon anodes, solid-state electrolytes, lithium/sodium metal systems. Characterize volumetric expansion dynamics and interfacial pressure evolution.

Formation & Cycling Studies

Long-term aging characterization with continuous mechanical-thermal monitoring. Track degradation mechanisms and capacity fade correlations.

Pressure-Dependent Performance

Systematic investigation of electrochemical performance as function of applied stack pressure. Optimize manufacturing constraints

Degradation & Swelling Analysis

Quantify gas evolution, mechanical stress accumulation, and thermal event precursors during accelerated aging protocols.

Fixed gap and fixed force modes

This fixture can monitor both force and thickness changes simultaneously during battery cycling. However, the actual response would depend on assembly of holder - either with springs to stabilize pressure, or without springs to prevent cell expansion. Choose setup mode depending on what you want to test.
