A 2-day "hands-on" course in
Li-ion battery cell assembly
. . . just do it!
new date to be announced
LiFeSiZE AB - Uppsala
Welcome to a unique Li-ion battery assembly course - exploiting LiFeSiZE´s new prototype pilot-line in Uppsala!
The course will comprise an interleaved
series of lectures and practical exercises in which participants
will get a first-hand (“hands-on”) feeling for the critical steps in
Li-ion battery cell fabrication - from slurry preparation right
through to cell formation and testing.
Some extracts from the course
plan:
• The general design
and construction of a Li-ion battery.
• Electrode slurry
preparation, incl. rheometric analysis.
• Electrode
coating/drying on LiFeSiZE’s 6m pilot-line.
• Electrode cutting,
calendering, punching and stacking.
• Cell packaging,
electrolyte injection and sealing.
• Cell formation and
testing.
When and where:
The course will be given, new
date to be announced, at LiFeSiZE: Lefflersgatan 3A in Uppsala:
www.LiFeSiZE.se
Course fee:
The fee for the course will be
27 800 SEK + VAT. Lunches and “coffees” are
included.
NOTE: travel and accommodation costs are not included in the course
fee.
Target group:
The course will place no strict
preconditions on the background of its participants, but is intended
especially for people with a general interest in the subject and
especially for those involved in different aspects of industrial
Li-ion battery R&D. The course will also provide a deeper
understanding of cell- and supplier-selection for portable, vehicle
and stationary applications. The language of the course will be
English.
