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
