INTRODUCTION

Pouch cell is a flexible and lightweight rechargeable battery. It features a flat, pouch‑like package that holds the battery's active components. Pouch cells offer advantages such as high energy density, flexible form factor, excellent power delivery, lightweight design, improved thermal characteristics, and longer cycle life. These qualities make pouch cells a preferred choice for applications in portable electronics, electric vehicles, and renewable energy systems.

Cell Finishing Process

Why Pouch Cells

• 1.Lightweight & Thin ‑No rigid metal can, up to 90‑95% packing eficiency.
• 2. Shape Flexibility ‑Width/length/thickness adaptable to device gemetry.
• 3. Stacked or Wound electrode assemblies for power or energy optimization.
• 4. Welded Tabs led out through the sealed edge for reliable pack integration.

Pouch Cell: Aluminium‑plastic laminate film body, sealed edges, welded electrode tabs led out for seres/parallel pack assembly

Production Process

• Stage 1:Electrode preparation
• Stage 2: Cell assembly
• Stage 3: Formation & grading

5. Equipment Delivery Schedule

From order confirmation to a running line at the customer’s site, TOTAL LEAD TIME approx. 6 months

• 3 MONTHS approx. 90 days：Equipment Manufacturing Fabrication, assembly, wiring, PLC programming and pre‑commissioning of the full pouch cell line.
• 7 DAYS at manufacturer's plant：Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) Run‑off with customer witness: mechanical, electrical and safety checks before shipment release.
• 2 MONTHS approx. 60 days：Sea Freight & Customs Clearance Container loading, ocean transport, import customs clearance and inland delivery to the plant.
• 1 MONTH approx. 30 days：Installation & Commissioning On‑site erection, alignment, utilities hook‑up,trial runs and operator training until the first good cell.

SCHEDULE OVERVIEW

Note：Timeline starts from the effective date of the contract and receipt of the down payment. PAT duration is counted separately from the manufacturing period. Sea freight and customs clearance times are estimates based on the destination port and may vary. Installation and commissioning require site readiness (foundation, power, compressed air and utilities) before the team travels.
