6 FAQs about [Used battery production]

Why is battery manufacturing so expensive?

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 .

Who is involved in the battery manufacturing process?

There are various players involved in the battery manufacturing processes, from researchers to product responsibility and quality control. Timely, close collaboration and interaction among these parties is of vital relevance.

What is battery manufacturing process?

Figure 1 introduces the current state-of-the-art battery manufacturing process, which includes three major parts: electrode preparation, cell assembly, and battery electrochemistry activation. First, the active material (AM), conductive additive, and binder are mixed to form a uniform slurry with the solvent.

What is the future of battery production?

In the factory of the future, modular assembly machines directed by smart parameter-setting systems and supported by advanced robots can produce a wider range of cell geometries. This will allow manufacturers to make a greater variety of products on a single production line—a game-changing capability for battery production.

Should automakers buy batteries from a factory of the future?

Indeed, for automakers in the US and Western Europe, sourcing batteries from a factory of the future (whether a supplier’s or their own) will be essential to reduce landed costs to the levels required to reach price-competitiveness with ICE vehicles well before 2030.

How a battery is developed?

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.
