Cell manufacturing/Electrolyte Filling

{{Semantic Element
|label=Cell manufacturing/Electrolyte Filling
|description====Production process===

*Electrolyte filling follows the packaging process
*The electrolyte filling process consists of the two sub-processes "filling" and "wetting"
*Filling: Electrolyte is filled into the cell under vacuum
*Wetting: By supplying gas and/or generating a vacuum, the capillary effect in the cell is activated 
*Evacuation and partial filling repeated several times 
*Pouch foil is sealed under vacuum
*Electrolyte is usually a purchased substance; sets high requirements on process environment (fire protection, extraction, etc.)

===Process parameters & requirements===

*Geometry of the dosing needle
*Working pressure: approx. 0.01 mbar
*Homogeneous electrolyte distribution
*Necessity of very dry environment
*Control of electrolyte quantity

===Quality influences===

*Dosing method
*Geometry and closing mechanism of dosing
*Electrolyte transport system

===Quality features===

*Dosing and distribution accuracy of electrolyte in the cell
*Electrolyte residues in the sealing seam
*Tightness of the sealed cell
