Battery Formation & Grading Equipment
Advanced Battery Formation & Grading Solutions for Lithium, Sodium-Ion, NiMH and Lead-Acid Batteries
What is Battery Formation & Grading?
Battery Formation
Battery formation is the initial charging and discharging process after cell assembly. During formation, a stable Solid Electrolyte Interphase (SEI) layer is created on the electrode surface, which is essential for battery performance and long-term stability.
Battery Grading
Battery grading classifies cells according to key performance parameters such as:
● Capacity
● Internal Resistance (IR)
● Voltage
● Energy Efficiency
● Self-Discharge Rate
The grading process ensures that only cells with similar characteristics are grouped together for battery pack assembly, improving overall pack consistency and safety.
