EIS SCANNERS

CLARITY

COMING SPRING 2025

description

Welcome to the Next Generation of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and the first EIS scanner using R3 EIS technology. 

Our EIS Scanner CLARITY is suitable for use on batteries with a capacity of approximately 1 – 10 Ah. For example 18650 or 21700 batteries.   

The  EIS Battery Scanner uses R3 EIS technology deveolped by Batixt AB. This technology allows Rapid, Reliable and Repeatable EIS scanning and cycling of batteries.  

A 42 second EIS scan, with a frequency separation of 1% delivers EIS results for approximately 630 frequencies. A full SoC sweep of the battery with 100+ of these scans will take 2-4 hours.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR EIS SCANNER CLARITY
CURRENT AND VOLTAGE
Battery Capacity (Ah)1 to 10 Ah (dependent on the batteries imepdance). Accuracy is reduced outside this range
Battery Voltage (V)2.5 - 5 V
Applied Current (A)0-5 A (DC level up to 2.5A)
The current can and should be selected depending on the battery properties
Drawn Current (A)0-5 A (DC level up to 2.5A)
The current can and should be selected depending on the battery properties
CalibrationYes
EIS MEASUREMENT
Measurement MethodGalvanostatic, on charge or discharge
Frequency Range10 mHz - 10 kHz
Number of FrequenciesUser defined prameters of measurement time and frequency separation determine the number of frequencies in a single multi-sine measurement

A 42 second EIS scan, with a frequency separation of 1% delivers EIS results for approximately 630 frequencies
Frequency ResolutionFew ppm of the setting
Quality IndicatorsScatter is calculated and displayed. Due to high data resolution, scatter can be observed in the Nyquist diagram. Parasictic frequencies will stand out clearly
Measurement AccuracySince both the current and the voltage used to calculate the EIS data are measured by the same device, we become independent of absolute accuracy while relative accuracy between current and voltage is maintained at a high level

The time constant spectrum data can be used to further enhance accuracy in the modelling phase
Modelling AccuracyIn modelling that is based on EIS data from this instrument, each modelled parameter may be based on a large number of EIS data points, typically 50 or more points. Therefore, the resulting parameters become very accurate
OutputNyquist data (separated from step response)
Step response data
Relaxation information
DATA ACQUISITION
MethodSingle EIS scan or multiple scans via user defined script
Rate (Sampling)200 kHz, 18 bits, The sampling rate will decrease for data acquisition times exceeding 200 seconds
TimeFixed times of 21, 42, 84 or 168 seconds can be selected. These times ensure fastest data processing.

Other measurement times may be selected, but will result in slower dataprocessing
Measurement Resolution0,0005 % of full range including oversampling
Noise and RippleLevels are low

The signal-noise ratio varies depending on the measurement time, the number of frequencies and the current applied

The scatter value that is displayed together with the appearace of the Nyquist diagram reveals the noise levels

There is no ripple in the discharge analysis since the power is from the battery.
In the charge analysis there is XX mV noise/ripple from the 7 VDC power supply
