There are many parts that need to be connected in the battery system, and welding is often the most effective and reliable connection method.

The bonding interface eliminates metallurgical defects that commonly exist in most fusion welds such as porosity, hot-cracking, and bulk inter-metallic compounds. Therefore, it is often considered the best welding process for li-ion battery applications.
Parameter control also allows LBW to adapt to the thickness of the material tabs and can create thin or thick weld nuggets. In battery cell welding it is important to create thin welds due to the relatively thin battery cases and the risk of the weld penetrating the case and thus damaging the core.
