Method for filling electrochemical cells

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for filling a battery or accumulator foil bag with fluid and sealing said bag, comprising the steps: a) providing a flexible foil pouch in the interior of which the solid components (8; 31) of the battery and/or accumulator are accommodated, wherein the foil pouch is tightly sealed with the exception of a sealable opening (11, 12) accessible for fluid, b) situating the foil pouch in a gas-tight sealable chamber (21) and gas-tight sealing of the chamber, c) following step (b), applying a vacuum in the foil bag, d) connecting the fluid access port on the foil pouch to a fluid source reservoir (17) via a connecting tube (14; 29), forming a tight seal, e) following step (d), completely filling the pouch interior with fluid via the connecting tube and f) hermetically sealing the foil pouch by placing a seam (10; 36), wherein either (i) the seam is placed such that the fluid access port connected to the connecting tube is separated from the interior of the foil pouch and the connecting tube is subsequently removed from the fluid access port, or (ii) the seam extends through the connecting tube, and, g) separating the foil and/or connecting tube components (37) that are situated outside the seam.
