Manufacturing recombination electric storage cells

摘要

A method of manufacturing recombination electric storage cells includes assembling a plurality of cell packs comprising alternating positive and negative electrodes interleaved with compressible fibrous absorbent separator material. Each cell pack is placed in a respective open plastics bag and the cell packs are constrained to occupy a volume which is less than their natural volume. The cell packs are then immersed in electrolyte thereby saturating the electrodes and separator material and then electrolytically formed by passing an electric current through them. The cell packs are subsequently inserted into their final outer container.
