  • Patent number: 10107863
    Abstract: A test method for a secondary battery, which early detects the occurrence of the future micro short-circuiting in the screening and promotes to render the contaminant harmless while suppressing the short-circuiting between the positive and negative electrodes in the aging, is provided. This test method includes Step S12 of charging the secondary battery, Steps S13 and S14 of aging the secondary battery in a first pressed state, Step S17 of measuring a battery voltage (V1) after the aging, Step S18 of screening the secondary battery in a second pressed state with a higher pressure than in the first pressed state, and Step S19 of measuring a battery voltage (V2) after the screening. Whether the battery has the internal short-circuiting or not is determined (Step S20) based on the difference between the voltage (V1) measured in Step S17 and the voltage (V2) measured in Step S19.

  • Patent number: 10079409
    Abstract: A method for producing cell 1, which includes cell element 4 wherein positive electrode plate 41 and negative electrode plate 42 are laminated with an interposal of separator 43 therebetween; and outer case 5 which houses cell element 4 together with an electrolyte solution. An electrolyte solution injection step for forming cell 1 by having outer case 5 contain cell element 4 and electrolyte solution (step S1), a charging step for charging cell 1 (step S2), and an impregnation condition inspection step for inspecting an impregnation condition of the electrolyte solution into cell element 4 after charging cell 1 are conducted in the order of the electrolyte solution injection step, the charging step and the impregnation condition inspection step.

  • Patent number: 9647297
    Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided a seal step (ST105) storing an electrode laminate in which a separator is disposed between a positive electrode and a negative electrode and an electrolyte within an exterior body constituted by a laminate film and sealing the exterior body; a pressure application step (ST106) of applying a pressure to the exterior body in which the electrode laminate is stored by means of a flat plate press working or so forth; charge step (ST102) of charging up to a full charge; a gas removal step (ST107) of unsealing the exterior body and removing gas generated within the exterior body at the charge step; and a re-seal step (ST108) of sealing the exterior body after the gas removal step. The number of times of the gas removal steps is small and an influence of gas on battery characteristics is suppressed.
