Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for producing battery cell stacks in which a first and second electrode string with separator web and first and second electrodes attached thereto at a distance are combined together to form a composite string and mono-cells are separated therefrom. To form terminal cells, a second electrode is omitted in each case at some locations during the production of the second electrode string, so that a length section of the respective separator web is produced without the corresponding second electrode. A terminal cell region is then formed in the composite string, in which a first electrode is inserted between separator web length sections. This is separated when the cells are separated from the composite string to form a terminal cell. Subsequent stacking can then begin or terminate with an end cell. Also a computer program for performing the method.
