Lithium battery sorting machine technical parameters

The technical parameters of a lithium battery sorter directly reflect its performance and applicable range, providing valuable guidance for users when selecting and using the equipment.

The following are some common technical parameters for lithium battery sorters:

Detection Parameter Range:

Voltage Detection Range: This generally covers the common operating voltage ranges of lithium batteries, such as 0-5V and 0-10V, to meet the voltage detection requirements of different lithium battery types.

Internal Resistance Detection Range: This typically covers a range of 0-50mΩ or even wider, enabling accurate measurement of the internal resistance of lithium batteries, providing important evidence for battery performance evaluation.

Capacity Detection Range: Depending on the device's application scenario and target battery type, the capacity detection range can range from hundreds of milliampere-hours (mAh) to tens of ampere-hours (Ah), meeting the sorting requirements of lithium batteries of varying capacity specifications.

Detection Accuracy:

Voltage Detection Accuracy: High-precision lithium battery sorters can achieve voltage detection accuracy of ±0.1mV or higher, ensuring accurate discrimination of subtle voltage differences between batteries. Internal Resistance Testing Accuracy: Internal resistance testing accuracy generally reaches ±0.1mΩ - ±0.5mΩ. High-precision internal resistance testing is crucial for battery pack production, where consistent internal resistance is crucial.

Capacity Testing Accuracy: Capacity testing accuracy is typically controlled between ±1% and ±3%. By accurately measuring battery capacity, accurate battery performance assessment and classification can be achieved.

Sorting Speed: Sorting speed is a key metric for measuring the production efficiency of lithium battery sorters. It is typically expressed as the number of cells sorted per minute, or PPM (Parts Per Minute). Currently, the sorting speed of common lithium battery sorters on the market ranges from 5 to 20 PPM. Some high-end equipment can even reach speeds exceeding 30 PPM, meeting the needs of large-scale industrial production.

Sorting Scale: The sorting scale determines how many different battery types the equipment can sort based on performance parameters. Generally speaking, lithium battery sorters can flexibly set the sorting range from 5 to 20. Users can select the appropriate sorting range based on actual production needs and battery performance distribution to achieve optimal sorting results.

Applicable Battery Types: Different lithium battery sorters are suitable for different types of lithium batteries, such as cylindrical batteries (such as 18650, 21700, and 26650), prismatic batteries, and pouch cells. When selecting equipment, it is important to ensure compatibility and accurate sorting of the specific battery types being produced.

Equipment Size and Weight: The size and weight of the equipment have a significant impact on the spatial layout and installation and commissioning of the production site. Generally speaking, the size and weight of a lithium battery sorter vary depending on factors such as its function, sorting speed, and degree of automation. When planning your production site, carefully consider the equipment's size and weight requirements to ensure smooth installation and commissioning.
