[0002] Lithium-ion batteries generally include an electrolyte and positive and negative tabs distributed on both sides of the electrolyte. When testing the charge and discharge of lithium-ion batteries, the positive and negative tabs need to be matched one by one with the positive and negative connection terminals on the charging and discharging equipment and electrically connected. The conventional connection method is to punch holes in the tabs, and the connection terminals are copper noses. The tabs are connected to the corresponding copper noses by bolts and nuts. The operation is cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive. In addition, since the positive and negative current lines of the charging and discharging equipment are movable, and the tabs are relatively soft, if the position of the current lines is adjusted during the test, the tabs are easily subjected to force and twisted, deformed, or broken, which will affect the test results.
