Multichannel instrument to study batteries and electrochemical cells during charge-discharge cycling, and open-circuit conditions is described. Each channel is a programmable potentiostat-galvanostat operating by an independent program. The accuracy of the stabilization current and potential is 0.01%. The additional sensors with analog output, such as temperature, can be plugged to each channel. The proposed hardware and software solution allows to control experiments, receive measurement data and remote administer the instrument via Ethernet.
