Product Engineering Lithium Ion Pouch Cell Development

New Product Development

Publications More and more lithium ion applications are utilizing pouch cell (soft pack) designs which are an excellent
way to reduce weight and cost, as well as optimize packaging efficiency at the battery level. Lithium Ion
(Li-Ion) power systems are increasingly becoming the choice for many applications because of Li-Ion’s
higher specific energy density than the core technologies of the previous decade such as nickel cadmium
and lead acid batteries. Li-Ion technology has higher voltage output per cell than many other systems.
Therefore, fewer cells are needed for a given battery voltage.

The Product Development team has recently developed advanced pouch cell designs using recently
upgraded manufacturing and testing capabilities at EaglePicher’s advanced Lithium Ion facility.
EaglePicher’s baseline pouch cell design employs wide seals for redundancy, profile tab seals to
eliminate tab-to-pouch shorts and large tabs for high rate capability

Cells can be custom designed from 5 to 100 Ahrs. The size capability chart seen in the table below lists
the approximate size capabilities of this manufacturing line.

Criteria Min Max

Capacity 5 100

Length 100 275

Width 75 210

Thickness 3 14

Discharge curves for an 8 Ampere hour battery using a Manganese Spinel electrochemistry can been
seen in the graph of figure 2. The cells were tested under ambient conditions and were discharged from
C/2 to 10C rates.
