The invention belongs to the technical field of batteries, and discloses a battery
assembly method and a battery, and the method comprises the following steps: S1, installing a cover plate module on any side, provided with a tab, of a pole group; s2,
coating the outer side of the pole group with an insulating film which is in hot melting with the first plastic part; s3, loading the pole group unit into the composite shell; s4, the cover plate module and the composite shell are welded; s5,
welding the composite pole and the composite shell; and S6, realizing
current conduction between the composite pole and the tab. By finally realizing
current conduction between the composite pole and the tab, on one hand, the influence of other
welding procedures on the connection quality of the tab on the side and the composite pole is avoided, and on the other hand, the tab on the side extends out of the composite shell, so that the occupied space is reduced, and the space
utilization rate is increased; and the structural form of the composite shell and the single cover plate module is adopted, so that the
welding workload of the tab on one side is reduced, the influence of high temperature on the
microstructure of the tab on the side is reduced, the
discharge performance is improved, and the cycle life is prolonged.
