The Manufacturing Excellence Behind EPEVER’s Energy Storage Batteries
Production Process of Energy Storage Batteries
- Cell Sorting: In the initial phase of production, meticulous attention is paid to sorting and grading individual cells. This crucial step ensures the elimination of any defective cells, setting a high standard of quality right from the beginning.
- Module Stacking: The next stage involves strategically stacking the modules. This process not only significantly increases the battery pack’s voltage and capacity but also optimizes its energy density, ensuring maximum efficiency and performance.
- Total Voltage and Internal Resistance Testing with BMS Assembly: A key aspect of the production process is the comprehensive testing of total voltage and internal resistance. This evaluation is essential to assess the overall performance of the battery pack. The integration of a Battery Management System (BMS) during this phase guarantees the stability and safety of the final product.
- Battery Pack Testing: Once assembled, each battery pack undergoes rigorous testing to validate its performance. This includes aging tests to assess longevity, insulation resistance tests for safety, and a series of comprehensive product tests to ensure reliability and quality.
- Battery Performance Matching: The process of cell sorting is vital in aligning the performance parameters of each cell, such as voltage, capacity, and internal resistance. By ensuring that each cell within a battery pack shares similar characteristics, we achieve a harmonious balance in performance, thus avoiding issues related to uneven charging and discharging.
- Lifespan Optimization: Sorting cells based on their lifespan and cycling characteristics is fundamental in extending the overall lifespan of the battery pack. Grouping cells with comparable aging rates mitigates the variance in performance over time.
- Safety Management: By sorting cells, we significantly reduce safety risks that may arise from performance differences. This careful grouping minimizes potential issues like overcharge and overdischarge, enhancing the safety of the battery system.
- Improved Efficiency: The efficiency of a battery pack is greatly enhanced through cell sorting. By matching cells with similar performance, internal power losses are reduced, leading to a more efficient battery system.
The concept of cell sorting mirrors the “barrel effect,” where the capacity of a system is determined by its weakest component. Through meticulous cell sorting, we bolster the overall performance and lifespan of the battery system, akin to reinforcing the shortest stave in a barrel.
