Battery connection weding method

Resistance spot, ultrasonic or laser beam welding are mostly used for connecting battery cells in the production of large battery assemblies. Each of these welding techniques has its own characteristics depending on the material properties and contact geometry. Cell casing and terminal dimensions may constrain possible contact geometries.

Fiber laser welding
The laser welding process is non-contact, has no consumables, and offers instantaneous welding once the laser is positioned at the weld point location. Furthermore, you can closely control and optimize the weld size and location on the part for strength and conductivity. You can also tailor the motion options to the manufacturing environment.

Fiber lasers can be used for tab-to-terminal welds on prismatic, cylindrical, pouch, and ultra-capacitor battery types. The tab thickness can vary from 0.006-0.08-inch for both aluminum and copper tab material, depending on the size of the battery. The fiber laser can weld many material combinations, including aluminum to aluminum, aluminum to steel, copper to steel, and copper to aluminum. The figure above shows examples of fiber laser welding of common dissimilar materials combinations for tab-to-terminal welding.
Resistance welding
Resistance welding is the most cost-effective method for joining tabs, using both DC inverter closed loop and capacitor discharge power supplies. With fast rise times, closed loop feedback control, polarity switching, and options for displacement and force sensing, the process can be finely tuned and monitored to ensure both high quality and yield.
Resistance welding is a great choice for welding nickel tab material up to 0.015-inch thickness, and nickel or steel clad copper tab material to around 0.012-inch thickness to a wide variety of terminal materials.
For nickel tab thicknesses up to 0.0070-inch, the tab can be welded as is, with no modification. For thicker tabs, one should place a slot and projections in the tab as part of the stamping process to prevent electrical shunting and excessive electrode wear.
Battery Cooling & Heating – Battery Plate
To provide maximum lithium-ion battery life and optimum performance, Modine’s advanced battery cooling and heating solutions regulate battery temperatures within their optimal operating range under all conditions by transferring heat from a battery cooling plate through a two-phase battery chiller.
Features and Benefits
- Mechanical and thermal interface to regulate the battery pack’s temperature.
- Heated/cooled coolant flows through a cooling surface, which is in good thermal contact with the battery cells.
- Coolant fitting alternatives available.
- Design options:
- Dimpled coolant passages with lower internal pressure drop.
- Coolant passages with turbulator insert with higher pressure drop and increased heat rejection capacity.
- Customizable plate sizes and coolant flow path.
- Design developed to optimize flow distribution, internal pressure drop, thermal resistance, and surface temperature gradient.
We continue to build on the advantage of our battery heating and cooling innovations to provide customers optimum battery life and performance.
Injection Molded Plastic
Enclosures made from injection molded plastics are most commonly used for battery packs. For these enclosed pack designs, two or more plastic parts are molded and then assembled with the pack and accompanied circuitry. They can be sealed using glue, mechanical fasteners (Screws) or ultrasonic welding. The product cost can be reduced by using insert moldings in which the interconnection strips and the terminals are molded into the plastic parts to eliminate both materials and assembly costs.

Custom Designed Battery Pack Enclosure Made From Injection Molded Plastic
In some designs, the battery pack can form part of the outer case of the end product and usually requires a mechanical latch to hold the battery in place. This latch as well as the terminals must interface with plastic parts from the device itself so high precision and tight tolerances are essential.
Shrink Wrap or Vacuum Formed Plastic
The simplest and least expensive packaging for small batteries is shrink wrap or vacuum formed plastic. These solutions are only possible if the battery is intended to be completely enclosed by the finished product. In other cases, battery packs are mounted externally and may serve a mechanical function, such as a handle or base for the product. Our extensive experience in designing battery enclosures of all types allow us to enhance the functional design of the product while assuring that the battery passes any shock, vibration and environmental testing required for your application.
