A battery module includes: a positive terminal disposed on an exterior of a housing of the battery module; a negative terminal disposed on the exterior of the housing of the battery module; groups of two or more cylindrical battery cells electrically connected in parallel; and electrically conductive bus bars that electrically connect the groups in series, that electrically connect positive terminals of the cylindrical battery cells of a first one of the groups with the positive terminal of the battery module, and that electrically connect negative terminals of the cylindrical battery cells of a second one of the groups with the negative terminal of the battery module.

Cylindrical cell-based parametric battery module for flexible assembly and packaging

An electrode heat treatment device and associated method for fabricating an electrode are described, and include forming a workpiece, including coating a current collector with a slurry. The workpiece is placed on a first spool, and the first spool including the workpiece is placed in a sealable chamber, wherein the sealable chamber includes the first spool, a heat exchange work space, and a second spool. An inert environment is created in the sealable chamber. The workpiece is subjected to a multi-step continuous heat treatment operation in the inert environment, wherein the multi-step continuous heat treatment operation includes continuously transferring the workpiece through the heat exchange work space between the first spool and the second spool and controlling the heat exchange work space to an elevated temperature.

Method and apparatus for pyrolyzing an electrode

A self-centering grinding wheel assembly that includes a spindle shaft including a conical-shaped end, a grinding wheel, and a grinding wheel adapter. The grinding wheel adapter affixed to the grinding wheel. A plurality of alignment members disposed radially within the grinding wheel adapter. Each of the plurality of alignment members include a tapered surface that conforms to a conical end of the spindle shaft. The plurality of alignment members slide radially with the grinding wheel adapter. The plurality of alignment members self-center the grinding wheel adapter on the spindle shaft in response to the grinding wheel adapter being assembled to the conical end of the conical shaft.
