A method comprising providing a first sheet that includes a substrate, a cathode current collector, a cathode material, an anode current collector, and an electrolyte layer separating the cathode material from the anode current collector; and performing one or more material removal operations to remove material through the cathode current collector, cathode material, the anode current collector, and the electrolyte layer separating the cathode material from the anode current collector, and removing a first portion of the substrate but not through a second portion of the substrate so as to leave a first plurality of battery cells that are separated from one another but wherein a plurality of the first plurality of battery cells remains attached to at least a single unseparated part of the first sheet, whereby sufficient amounts of the substrate are removed so that final separation of the cells may be accomplished by upward or downward force on individual cells. |
