They are small and easy to carry. The battery cells are used to provide power for the notebooks, and the tabs of the battery cells need to be cut and tested during production.

[0003] The existing battery cell groups are manually assisted in the tab cutting and inspection, and the degree of automation in the cutting and inspection process is low, which increases the labor intensity and reduces the work efficiency during cutting and inspection. Moreover, since the cutting and inspection process needs to be manually operated, the inspection results will be biased, which reduces the yield rate during gluing, thus causing great trouble to people's use.
