Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A cell assembly ( 20 ) is formed by arranging an electrode body and electrolyte in an external case ( 12 ) having a through hole ( 41 ). A laser is applied to an annular portion (formed by Al or Al-based alloy) surrounding an opening end ( 41 A) of the through hole ( 41 ) toward outside the case so as to form a welded base ( 45 ). A sealing film ( 54 ) is welded to the surface of the welded base directly or via a base film ( 52 ) welded in advance, so as to temporarily seal the through hole ( 41 ). The cell assembly ( 20 ) in the temporarily sealed state is subjected to initial charge and then a hole is opened through the film ( 54 ) so as to form a gas discharge passage for communication between inside and outside of the case ( 12 ), thereby discharging an excessive gas from the case ( 12 ) outside.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A sealed type cell manufacturing method for manufacturing a sealed type cell in which an electrode body provided with a positive electrode and a negative electrode, and an electrolyte are contained in an external case, the method comprising: a step of configuring a cell assembly by housing said electrode body and said electrolyte in an external case having a through-hole; a step of temporarily sealing said through-hole by welding a sealing film dir…
