Description

HCP-803 Potentiostat

Single channel, high current potentiostat for supercapacitors & fuel cells

The HCP-803 is a high current potentiostat capable of producing 80 A with a voltage range of ±3 V.

It is primarily designed for applications in the fuel cell and supercapacitor areas. It is a combination of a research quality potentiostat and an 80 A booster built into the same chassis.

The potentiostat has the same specifications as the VMP3 potentiostat boards (with EIS option) when not connected to the booster portion of the unit
