18650 Battery Pack

The biggest feature of the 18650 lithium-ion battery pack is its flexible combination. Most of the continuous orders can be completed semi-automatically. It is conceivable to understand the 18650 lithium-ion battery pack process is now more and more simple.

The general 18650 lithium-ion battery PACK includes: 18650 cells, battery protection board, connecting nickel sheets, lead-out nickel sheets, green paper accessories, insulating paper, wires or plug wires, PVC outer packaging or shell, output (including connection device), key switch, power indicator, and auxiliary materials such as EVA, highland barley paper, and plastic brackets together form a PACK, and most 18650 battery packs are of the same type.

How to usb charge 18650 battery pack

Lithium battery with PCM

If the lithium battery has a protective plate, it can be charged directly with a USB cable. The function of the lithium battery protection board is to prevent the lithium battery from being overcharged and overdischarged. When the battery voltage reaches 4.2V, the protection board will cut off the current input.

Lithium battery without PCM

If the lithium battery does not have a protective plate, it cannot be directly charged with a USB cable. The charge cut-off voltage of the lithium battery is 4.2V. That is to say, when the internal voltage of the battery rises to 4.2V, the charging should be stopped, otherwise the lithium battery cells will be damaged. The voltage output through the USB cable is generally 5V, which is higher than the cut-off voltage of the lithium battery. Therefore, if the battery does not have a protective plate, it will cause the battery to be overcharged.

Why do 18650 batteries explode？

Internal short circuit: Structural or workmanship defects lead to tab insertion, too little diaphragm wrapping, burrs, diaphragm discount, etc.
External short circuit: The explosion after combustion caused by the external short circuit of the lithium battery below 1AH is rare. Usually, it is bulging or the tab is simply blown. The personal analysis is the combustion caused by the external short circuit of the power battery or the large-capacity mobile phone battery.
Overcharge explosion: This is the most dangerous and most feared by enterprises, but it still occurs occasionally. From what I know, there are two points: the user does not use the matching charger as required, thereby destroying the protection circuit, and the user often charges for an unlimited time, which is difficult without frying; the 18650 lithium battery is unreasonable. And the protective plate fails, and in this case, it will also explode in a mess. Same goes for a single battery.

What should be paid attention to when 18650 lithium ion battery pack process is assembled

Set the cell internal resistance, voltage and self-discharge.
Set the channel and level.
Set the number of groups for each channel.
If there is any defect, it should be isolated and analyzed in time.

Multi-parallel multi-series 18650 lithium-ion battery pack design skills

Adopt the principle of priority and easy operation, that is, easy operation by employees.
The principle of priority operation safety is adopted, that is, employees are not easy to short-circuit or have better preventive measures when operating.
The principle of equipment is adopted, that is, what is done with the aid of auxiliary equipment is as far as possible without manual labor, at least semi-automatic.
The packaging design should be reasonable, easy to take and put away, and the product should not be delivered to the customer for a long time.

What should be paid attention to when welding 18650 lithium-ion battery pack process

Attention should be paid to the current of spot welding when welding 18650 lithium-ion batteries.
When welding 18650 batteries, pay attention to the diameter of the solder pins.
When welding 18650 lithium-ion batteries, pay attention to the spacing of the solder pins.
It should pay attention to the number of solder joints.
When spot welding, no explosion, no short circuit, and no virtual welding are allowed.
