Resistance welding is an applicable process for battery welding. Depending on the battery cell type, different process variants are applied as schematically presented for prismatic or pouch cells and cylindrical cells in Fig. 5 (g) and Fig. 5 (h), respectively. Both process variants can be combined with projections.
For the welding of each battery cell the scanner was positioned over the center of the battery cell and the contour was welded afterwards. Welding of multiple battery cells without repositioning of the scanner was not possible as the working area of the chosen lens (80 mm focal length) is too small (40 × 40 mm 2).

Battery cells are most often put into modules or packs when produced for electrically driven vehicles. The variable of greatest influence when welding battery packs is the contact resistance between the cell and the connection tab. It is crucial to minimize this variable as much as possible to prevent energy loss in the form of heat generation.

Parameter control also allows LBW to adapt to the thickness of the material tabs and can create thin or thick weld nuggets. In battery cell welding it is important to create thin welds due to the relatively thin battery cases and the risk of the weld penetrating the case and thus damaging the core.
4.1.2 Effect on the battery cell Small-scale resistance welding is often the preferred method for joining Li–ion batteries into battery packs. This process ensures strong joints with an almost complete elimination of the heat impact on the joined workpieces during a short time.
The findings are applicable to all kinds of battery cell casings. Additionally, the three welding techniques are compared quantitatively in terms of ultimate tensile strength, heat input into a battery cell caused by the welding process, and electrical contact resistance.
