Methods and Apparatuses for Paste Production and Application on Electrode Substrates for Lead Acid Batteries

Abstract

A system to create a cell for a monopole or bipole lead acid battery includes a paster to produce wet paste, a first carrier structure to receive the wet paste, and a second carrier structure to receive an electrode substrate. A combining station combines the first carrier structure and corresponding wet paste and the second carrier structure and corresponding electrode substrate into an assembly. An ultrasonic welding system receives the assembly and provides mechanical pressure and ultrasonic energy to the assembly. A removal station via which to remove at least one of the first and second carrier structures to create a modified assembly.
