  • Publication number: 20180233721
    Abstract: A battery component includes a polymer frame having at least one window, the polymer frame having a first planar side and an opposite second planar side, and a window edge between the first and second planar sides. The battery component also has a battery cell component having a separator and bipolar current collector, the battery cell component being attached to the frame, the separator or bipolar current collector being attached to the first planar side or the window edge. A battery stack, a method for handling the battery component as an individual unit are also provided, electric vehicle battery and electric vehicle are also provided.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20180233782
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a battery component includes unrolling a polymer foil from a roll; forming windows into the unrolled polymer foil; and placing a battery cell component over each window. The battery cell component advantageously can be a solid-state electrolyte functioning as a separator, which is thereby well protected for handling and in later use.
