Tab welding is a crucial process for the good operation of batteries. Oversights can diminish the performance and range of the battery, reduce its mechanical strength, lower its thermal efficiency, and even cause
The external connection is the welding of the battery terminals through the connecting strips to form series and parallel circuits to form a battery pack. The battery terminals generally use aluminum for the positive electrode and copper for the negative electrode, and usually use a riveted structure.
This welding process is used primarily for welding two or more metal sheets, in case of battery it is generally a nickel strip and positive terminal/negative terminal of the battery together by applying pressure and heat from an electric current to the weld area.
In lithium battery manufacturing, resistance welding can be used to connect the positive electrode, the negative electrode and the conductive part of the battery together. 2.

Copper, as the negative electrode material, is a high-reflective material with low absorption rate and requires higher energy density during welding. 4. Cans sealing welding. The casing materials of power batteries include aluminum alloy and stainless steel. Among them, aluminum alloy is used most, and a few use pure aluminum. Stainless steel is the material with
Due to their abundance, low cost, and stability, carbon materials have been widely studied and evaluated as negative electrode materials for LIBs, SIBs, and PIBs, including graphite, hard carbon (HC), soft carbon (SC), graphene, and
For the best and repeatable results, such methods rely on the quality of the weld heads, electrodes and the power source.

Selecting the appropriate battery pack welding technology to weld battery tabs involves many considerations, including materials to be joined, joint geometry, weld access, cycle time and budget, as well as manufacturing flow and production requirements.
Functional principle of connecting battery cells by resistance spot welding with (a) parallel weld electrodes for cells with hard casing or with (b) opposed weld electrodes for pouch cells. Fig. 4 (a) explains how battery cells with hard casing, i.e., cylindrical or prismatic cells, are resistance spot welded with parallel weld electrodes.
Inside the cell casing, tabs are connected to current collectors, or foils, that are made of highly conductive materials like aluminum and copper. They carry the positive and negative current from the electrodes. Battery tabs

Abstract Among high-capacity materials for the negative electrode of a lithium-ion battery, Sn stands out due to a high theoretical specific capacity of 994 mA h/g and the presence of a low-potential discharge plateau. However, a significant increase in volume during the intercalation of lithium into tin leads to degradation and a serious decrease in capacity. An
The key to welding the cylindrical cell type lies in the negative terminal weld, where the battery tab is welded directly to the can as opposed to the separate platform on the positive side. The weld on the negative terminal must not penetrate the can thickness which is typically around 0.015-inch (0.3mm). The thickness of the can dictates how
Battery welding with lasers is much faster than with conventional welding tools such as resistance spot-welding or ultrasonic welding. The process is contactless and, unlike resistance spot-welding, requires access to only one side of the part, enabling greater flexibility, lower cost and simpler and faster methods of clamping down parts.

The three welding techniques were applied to cylindrical lithium-ion cells of 26650 size. As external conductor a CuZn37 sheet of 0.2 mm thickness was welded at the negative pole of the cell. The negative tab of the battery cells is made of nickel-plated steel.
Brass (CuZn37) test samples are used for the quantitative comparison of the welding techniques, as this metal can be processed by all three welding techniques. At the end of the presented work, the suitability of resistance spot, ultrasonic and laser beam welding for connecting battery cells is evaluated.
Cylindrical batteries The key to welding the cylindrical cell type lies in the negative terminal weld, where the battery tab is welded directly to the can as opposed to the separate platform on the positive side. The weld on the negative terminal must not penetrate the can thickness which is typically around 0.015-inch (0.3mm).
The findings are applicable to all kinds of battery cell casings. Additionally, the three welding techniques are compared quantitatively in terms of ultimate tensile strength, heat input into a battery cell caused by the welding process, and electrical contact resistance.
4.1.2 Effect on the battery cell Small-scale resistance welding is often the preferred method for joining Li–ion batteries into battery packs. This process ensures strong joints with an almost complete elimination of the heat impact on the joined workpieces during a short time.
Battery cells are most often put into modules or packs when produced for electrically driven vehicles. The variable of greatest influence when welding battery packs is the contact resistance between the cell and the connection tab. It is crucial to minimize this variable as much as possible to prevent energy loss in the form of heat generation.
Each cell type has a different set of welding requirements. Cylindrical batteries The key to welding the cylindrical cell type lies in the negative terminal weld, where the battery tab is welded directly to the can as opposed to the separate platform on the positive side.
