A method for preparing a battery assembly comprising:
- a) filling the battery assembly with a liquid electrolyte having one or more reactants therein;
- b) optionally, pickling the battery assembly;
- c) forming the battery assembly by applying an electric charge;
- d) draining the battery assembly of the liquid electrolyte with one or more fluids;
- e) drying the battery assembly of the one or more fluids;
- f) temporarily storing the battery assembly after draining and drying;
- and
- g) refilling the battery assembly with the liquid electrolyte after the temporarily storing;
- wherein the method includes a thermal control cycling during the pickling and/or the forming, wherein the thermal control cycling maintains an internal temperature of the battery assembly below a threshold temperature;
- and
- wherein the batter assembly is a bipolar battery assembly.
