[0002] A battery is an energy storage device that can store electrical energy.

It is a device that can convert chemical energy into electrical energy. It has a positive electrode and a negative electrode. Now it also refers to a small device that can generate electrical energy. Common energy storage batteries include lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, supercapacitors, etc. Electrolyte is an important component of common chemical batteries. As a battery discharge medium, it provides ion conduction for the normal operation of the positive and negative electrodes. Battery products such as lithium-ion batteries and sodium-ion batteries usually include metal casings, battery cells, sealing rings, end caps and other components. Taking cylindrical batteries as an example, during the production and processing process, the above-mentioned components need to be assembled / installed. Among them, when installing the end cap, the battery is generally placed on a pressing device, and then the end cap is placed on the end of the battery.
