Finally, connect your potentiostat or battery tester to the 4 mm jacks on the front panel of the
controller box. Make sure that both instruments share a common ground (GND) potential.
Almost any potentiostat or battery tester can be used. The rightmost column in the table
below refers to the example of using a Biologic potentiostat (MPG-2, SP, VSP and VMP series).

Before starting the electrochemical cycle we recommend holding the cell at constant potential
(or open-circuit) for several hours to allow for baseline stabilization. The initial rest period
helps to discern charging induced dimensional changes from the initial creeping.
NOTE: All materials display a more or less pronounced creeping. They tend to shrink when
applying a load, and to swell when removing this load. A major contribution to the initial
creeping seen right after cell assembly is to be assigned to the construction materials of the
7.34 Open the shut-off valve in order to
connect the dead volume with the cell
volume. This prevents that the measured
displacement is affected by possible gas
evolution.
