Abstract: A method for forming an electrochemical cell involves pressing a first contact element of a forming unit onto a first forming contact-making section of a first conductor of the cell, pressing a second contact element of the forming unit onto the second forming contact-making section of the second conductor of the cell, carrying out a forming treatment on the cell, separating the first forming contact-making section from the first conductor, and separating the second forming contact-making section from the second conductor.

Abstract: The invention relates to a film for protecting the housing surface or the packaging surface of electrochemical energy stores from damage, in particular during production, during transport, or at the time of installation of such electrochemical energy stores.

Abstract: A method for forming an electrochemical cell comprising a first connector and a second connector for a battery preferably designed for use in motor vehicles which employs a forming unit comprising a first contact element and a second contact element, wherein the first connector comprises a first formation contact section designed to be disconnectable and the second connector comprises a second formation contact section designed to be disconnectable, comprising the steps of: (S1a) pressing the first contact element of the forming unit against the first formation contact section of the first connector, (S1b) pressing the second contact element of the forming unit against the second formation contact section of the second connector, (S5) implementing a forming treatment, (S6a) separating the first formation contact section from the first connector, and (S6b) separating the second formation contact section from the second connector.

Abstract: An electrochemical cell is proposed having an electrical unit, a first frame part and a second frame part, wherein the electrical unit is clamped in the area of the clamping surfaces between the first frame part and the second frame part, characterized in that the electrical energy unit and the first frame part have shape features which match one another and engage in one another such that a relative position of the electrical unit with respect to the first frame part is at least substantially fixed, at least in a state in which the clamping assembly of the frame parts and the electrical unit is released. This allows the electrical unit to be prefixed in the first frame part before production of the clamping assembly, making it possible to prevent the electrical unit from being installed obliquely.
