MEASURING ELECTRO-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF FLOWABLE MATERIALS

The invention provides an integrated multi-channel battery analyzer including one or more measurement units and accompanying pluggable battery capsules that physically and electrically connect to the measurement unit(s) to obtain multiple measurements simultaneously of electro-chemical properties for flowable materials, e.g., flowable batteries. The battery capsules are in a stacked configuration and include electrical components, e.g., positive and negative electrodes, and positive and negative flow channels through which the positive and negative electrolyte travels, respectively, as well as a separator positioned between the flow channels, and at least one pump. In addition, the battery capsules have a small size as compared to battery capsules known in the art.
