New energy battery cell sorting

Why is cell sorting important in lithium-ion battery industry?

Cell sorting in lithium-ion battery industry is an indispensable process to assure the reliability and safety of cells that are assembled into strings, blocks, modules and packs [ 3 ].

Does accurate battery sorting ensure good consistency of batteries for grouping?

Accurate battery sorting can ensure good consistency of batteries for grouping. This study investigates the mechanism of inconsistency of battery packs and process of battery sorting on the lithium-ion battery module production line.

Could a new automated sorting system help save EV batteries?

A new automated sorting system for spent EV batteries could help allay concerns about wasted cell materials once they’ve outlived usefulness for electric cars. A group of four British companies has developed an automated system capable of determining the health of individual battery cells and sorting them for further use.

How to sort retired batteries?

At present, there is no recognized effective sorting method for retired batteries, and most of them still take capacity and internal resistance as sorting criteria, which is utilized for fresh batteries sorting after they are produced.

How a battery pack is used in energy storage condition?

The battery pack used in energy storage condition contains 6 cells connected in series, and the cells are obtained by using the multi-factor sorting method (the closest to the center point) and obtained by a single capacity factor respectively.

What is effective sorting of lithium batteries?

Conclusions Effective sorting of lithium batteries is a means to eliminate the inconsistency of battery modules and battery modules. Selecting appropriate sorting parameters and using appropriate sorting algorithms can effectively improve the accuracy and efficiency of battery sorting.
