Prior to starting the electrochemical cycle, we recommend to wait for stabilization of the
recorded pressure, typically for at least 24 hours. Initial pressure change may be due to
temperature stabilization (typically within the first hour only), equilibration between liquid
and gaseous phases and creeping of the polymer seal which is placed between cell base
and lid.
