A shaped groove and roller support guide narrow pouch-cell sealing tabs into controlled folding, preventing seal damage and pressure on the electrode assembly.
A single-piece lead plate forms the terminal and vent in a cylindrical secondary cell, cutting parts, assembly time, and current-path losses.
A shell-linked current collector with separated welding regions improves tab connection and sealing while reducing local overcurrent and lithium precipitation.
Parallel vacuum hoppers and pre-positioned transfer cut battery cell degassing time while removing electrolyte gases to reduce defects and extend life.
