How to weld multi-series and multi-parallel battery packs

6 FAQs about [How to weld multi-series and multi-parallel battery packs]

How long does it take to weld a battery pack?

For a battery pack consisting of 117 Cells (9 x 13), this means there are 234 sites to weld and total process time of 514.8 seconds. Since laser welding is a non-contact process, the only motion is making a weld pattern and the motion moving the beam from cell to cell. The weld cycle time is a combination of shots and small motion on a cell.

Which welding techniques can be used for connecting battery cells?

Brass (CuZn37) test samples are used for the quantitative comparison of the welding techniques, as this metal can be processed by all three welding techniques. At the end of the presented work, the suitability of resistance spot, ultrasonic and laser beam welding for connecting battery cells is evaluated.

How to weld a battery cell?

In battery cell welding it is important to create thin welds due to the relatively thin battery cases and the risk of the weld penetrating the case and thus damaging the core. If a thicker weld is desired LBW can succeed in welding tabs several millimeters thick using keyhole mode welding.

Can a battery cell casing be welded?

The findings are applicable to all kinds of battery cell casings. Additionally, the three welding techniques are compared quantitatively in terms of ultimate tensile strength, heat input into a battery cell caused by the welding process, and electrical contact resistance.

Can a laser be used for battery module welding?

Laser welding is significantly faster showing the allure of the laser for battery module welding. Cycle time can be reduced even further with the use of a galvo scanning system, where some motion is handled by quick motions in the galvo head, and then indexed after all cells within the welding field are addressed.

Can ultrasonic weld damage a battery cell?

The counterpart has to be fixed but may have any thickness. It was reported that ultrasonic weld vibrations can damage the inside of a pouch cell, especially when the conductors inside the battery cell are also ultrasonically welded. In order to prevent the propagation of the vibrations into the cell, the terminal tabs need to be clamped .
