Battery cells are most often put into modules or packs when produced for electrically driven vehicles. The variable of greatest influence when welding battery packs is the contact resistance between the cell and the connection tab. It is crucial to minimize this variable as much as possible to prevent energy loss in the form of heat generation.
The purpose of this project is to conduct a comparative literature study of different welding techniques for welding batteries. The compared techniques are resistance spot welding, laser beam welding and ultrasonic welding. The performance was evaluated in terms of numerous factors such as production cost, degree of automation and weld quality.
This means that, on the one hand, there may be accessibility issues as the testing is performed on already assembled modules or packs, and on the other hand, key performance indicators for battery welding applications, such as electrical and fatigue performance of the joints, are not served.
The search was then performed using Uppsala University’s Library database and Google scholar which cover a wide range of articles and sources. Three methods for welding batteries were given in the template, being laser beam-, ultrasonic-, and resistance spot welding.
UWB is also suitable for creating electrical connections between cylindrical battery cells. Although proper fixation of the cell is paramount for the welding, as any significant lateral movement will reduce the vibration amplitude and consequently diminish the power of the welding process.
Hence, the weld would not cause any significant resistance heating of the battery during charge or discharge . 4.3.2 Effect on the battery cell High currents must flow through the welds between battery cells in order to deliver the electricity needed to power a battery electric vehicle. These welds are the bottleneck of the electric circuit.

EV Battery Pack Assembly | Laser Welding
It''s a fact that welding a less resistive metal to the standard stainless-steel terminal of a lithium ion battery can reduce resistance and improve battery efficiency. Traditional resistance spot welding, however, can''t effectively join highly-conductive dissimilar metals like copper and aluminum because the resultant intermetallic mix is brittle. But lasers CAN do the job with surprising ...
