A method for producing a battery cell includes at least the following steps: a) reshaping a first pouch foil into a first pouch half by means of a first molding device with a first recess; b) reshaping a second pouch foil into a second pouch foil by means of a second molding device with a second recess; c) inserting a cell stack into the first molding device and the first pouch half located therein; d) bringing together the first molding device and the second molding device with the second pouch half located therein; and e) at least partially connecting the first and second pouch halves to form a battery cell.

Method and device for the production of metal composite foils for battery cells

A method for processing an electrode sheet, wherein the electrode sheet has a carrier layer and an electrode material that is applied to the carrier layer only in a material region of the electrode sheet, so that a free region, which is free of electrode material, remains for the formation of diverters, wherein the electrode sheet is guided in a conveying direction by a processing device, so that the material region and the free region (run side by side, wherein the processing device has a calender through which the electrode sheet is guided and with which the material region is calendered, wherein the processing device additionally has at least one roller that is designed in such a way that it exerts a transverse tensile stress on the electrode sheet. A corresponding processing device is also specified.
