This paper investigates the specific features, advantages and dependencies of connecting battery cells by resistance spot, ultrasonic and laser beam welding.
Different welding processes are used depending on the design and requirements of each battery pack or module. Joints are also made to join the internal anode and cathode foils of battery cells, with ultrasonic welding (UW) being the preferred method for pouch cells.
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.
This means that, on the one hand, there may be accessibility issues as the testing is performed on already assembled modules or packs, and on the other hand, key performance indicators for battery welding applications, such as electrical and fatigue performance of the joints, are not served.
Moreover, the high-volume production requirements, meaning the high number of joints per module/BP, increase the absolute number of defects. The first part of this study focuses on associating the challenges of welding application in battery assembly with the key performance indicators of the joints.

Adhesive sealants, such as epoxy resin, seal wet cell battery terminals. They provide protection against moisture and corrosion, ensuring reliable electrical connections.
The adhesives need to allow the manufacturing as well as the structural and crash-durable joining of the battery enclosure. Adhesives and sealants are used to seal the battery from external environments and protect the cells and electronic parts inside the battery.
For vehicle longevity, OEMs need sealants for battery pack assembly that are both durable and serviceable. Today's sealants are reliable for the life of a vehicle—typically 15 years. The most advanced formulations are designed for serviceability by allowing seals that can be easily cut through to gain access and re-sealed after repair.
SMP based sealants with a lap shear strength of ca 1 MPa and a shore A hardness of ca 20 are therefore ideally suited as sealants in battery enclosure applications. Figure 3 > Lap shear tests performed with a one component SMP sealant show that the cleaning with heptane of bare aluminum is sufficient to achieve a good adhesion.
Plus, sealants that allow simple disassembly at the battery's end-of-life foster the reuse and recycling of EV battery components. In addition to performance, EV battery designers know that adhesives and sealants must work well in high-volume production.
Adhesives and sealants are used to seal the battery from external environments and protect the cells and electronic parts inside the battery. For the thermal management of the battery, thermally conductive adhesives and thermal interface materials are needed to allow for a proper thermal connection of parts and cells.
