Simplified Schedule Development for Battery Pack Manufacturers

From Miyachi Unitek Corporation
 

 

Battery pack manufacturers are often faced with having to quickly bring to production new cell pack designs which utilize various tab materials and cell types. This procedure will help reduce the time required to develop schedules for these tab to cell welds. It is not intended to preclude weld schedule optimization, nor does it address every aspect of battery pack welding. It should be used as a guide for quickly finding acceptable schedules for tab to cell welding.

The typical tab materials used for pack manufacturing are .005" thick, 1/4 hard Nickel 200 or Electro- Plated Nickel Plated Steel. Battery caps are normally made from Nickel Plated Cold Rolled Steel. This procedure assumes that these typical materials are used. Lithium-Ion "button cells" and prismatics require special process considerations, and are not covered by this procedure.
