The development of new battery technologies starts with the lab scale where material compositions and properties are investigated. In pilot lines, batteries are usually produced semi-automatically, and studies of design and process parameters are carried out. The findings from this are the basis for industrial series production.
Since battery production is a cost-intensive (material and energy costs) process, these standards will help to save time and money. Battery manufacturing consists of many process steps and the development takes several years, beginning with the concept phase and the technical feasibility, through the sampling phases until SOP.
Knowing that material selection plays a critical role in achieving the ultimate performance, battery cell manufacturing is also a key feature to maintain and even improve the performance during upscaled manufacturing. Hence, battery manufacturing technology is evolving in parallel to the market demand.
Battery manufacturing consists of many process steps and the development takes several years, beginning with the concept phase and the technical feasibility, through the sampling phases until SOP. There are various players involved in the battery manufacturing processes, from researchers to product responsibility and quality control.
Developments in different battery chemistries and cell formats play a vital role in the final performance of the batteries found in the market. However, battery manufacturing process steps and their product quality are also important parameters affecting the final products’ operational lifetime and durability.
The complexity of the battery manufacturing process, the lack of knowledge of the dependencies of product quality on process parameters and the lack of standards in quality assurance often lead to production over-engineering, high scrap rates and costly test series during industrialization .
