I would guess that the price probably correlates with the versatility of the crimper with different coin cell sizes. Most do a decent job

Don't know if you remember me but we caught lunch with Jay at the Ramen Place during ECS in October. How's the research going?

We have a quote from Hosen, and we have looked at MTI. The real question is, since MTI is much cheaper, is it going to do a poor job crimping our cells?

My research is going well, I am just waiting to hear back from the reviewers for my publication for the ECS special intercalation issue, but other than that, we are right on track...I might actually get my PhD eventually.

Intercalation compounds issue for April-May? We submitted for that issue as well.

Hi, I think, Hosen is making very good crimpers. If you are in the US, you can try to purchase from pred materials.

All the best.

For us Hosen is the best choice...we have a bit cheaper crimper but performance Not that good.... Need more rework and redo of experiment......

In addition, choosing coin cells is as important as choosing crimper. They must fit to make a best performance.

We bought coin cell crimper in Taiwan, so I cannot give you a more appropriate answer while our crimper is good. If you want, I can check it for you.

Hohsen (Japan)

It seems like everyone says hosen for the most part, but now to address the other question to be posed...who do you go to for coin cell parts??

Hi Micha,

I am leading the project fabricating coin cell parts and tools including the crimper distributed by NRC. Our crimper and coin cell parts have a proven track record that goes over two decades,  in fact we are using it for our internal research. If you have still are looking for a crimper please contact me for further details.

In my experienced both Hosen  and Eger corporations from Japan found excellent. Both crimping as well as de-crimping  work smoothly and  especially Eger machine  with automatic system  it  can conveniently work inside glove box.
