Despite being a consumer-driven product that is used by nearly everyone, most people don't realize that the common battery is an electrochemical device!  In this electronic age we have come to rely on these devices to power our mobile phones and laptop computers, and to keep the pacemakers inside our bodies working.

Princeton Applied Research provides high-current potentiostats and booster systems to address the customer's needs in these applications.  Both battery and fuel-cell research address a range of requirements for a potentiostat.  While half-cell work may not require high currents, research on the performance of a battery, and certainly for a fuel cell, require that the potentiostat provide high-current levels.  For the budget conscious, the 263A (outfitted with a 2-amp option) and the 273A  are often adequate, but when matched with a current booster (8, 10, or 20 amps), they become the perfect tools for evaluating the performance of an energy device.  The introduction of the 2273, with its 2 amp nominal current and its booster systems, continues to redefine these applications.  PowerSUITE^®  software has added galvanodynamic impedance and pulsing techniques, and has introduced a multi-sine technique ranging over 6 decades of frequency to make the fastest possible frequency spectrum measurements to help counter the effects of a drifting cell, especially at low frequencies.
