A More Detailed Look at a Prismatic Li-ion Cell and Pack Manufacturing Process

Green Car Congress

During charging the process is reversed with ions and electrons traveling from the cathode to anode. Charge and Test. The cell is charged in an end-of-line machine that looks like a 1960s computer. Each “channel” can charge / monitor one cell. The active materials are defined by the cell chemistry. Click to enlarge.
