Getting to profitability in battery manufacturing is a multi-stage challenge, from actually building the factory, to ramping production up to a profitable level of throughput and yield, to maintaining quality and profitability over the long run.
Winning in battery manufacturing is all about getting the combination of throughput (number of units you make) and yield (percentage of production that passes quality control and can be sold to customers) to a profitable state as quickly as possible.
Battery manufacturing is complicated: At a high level, battery manufacturing comprises three main stages — electrode fabrication, cell assembly, and end-of-line. However each of these stages comprises dozens of individual steps, and hundreds (if not more) of equipment settings: speeds, temperatures, pressures, and so on.
The DOE awarded $3 billion to 25 battery startups as part of the Battery Materials Processing and Battery Manufacturing and Recycling Programs.

Cycle times are slow: When running at full speed, it only takes a handful of hours for a production line to transform a batch of raw materials into a fully assembled battery. However, it actually takes days or weeks longer to determine if that battery is any good.
Here are some of the key challenges you’ll face: Battery manufacturing is complicated: At a high level, battery manufacturing comprises three main stages — electrode fabrication, cell assembly, and end-of-line.
