Applications
Development of energy sources for laptop PCs, mobile phones and power tools.
Fuel cell and supercapacitor research for electric vehicle or standby power.
Battery research including the new generation 42 V lead acid automotive batteries.
Electrochemical etching and electroplating.
An extensive range of techniques are available for use with these boosters.
Potentiostatic and Galvanostatic
Cyclic Voltammetry
Ohmic Drop
High-speed voltage and current pulse techniques (e.g. for testing GMS mobile phone and satellite communication energy storage devices)
