Introduction

This video, the first in a six-part series, focuses on the basics of battery manufacturing process control when sourcing batteries from China. It highlights the variability in quality among Chinese battery suppliers and emphasizes the importance of process control in ensuring consistent product quality.

Key Takeaways

• China has both excellent and poor battery manufacturers. While many claim to meet specifications, consistent production is crucial.
• Process control is a major factor in battery manufacturing. Good process controls significantly improve the likelihood of producing high-quality batteries.
• Product inspection verifies that purchased cells and products meet agreed specifications. This often involves short tests on a large percentage or representative samples of the output.
• The composition of raw materials used in battery components is important and should not be overlooked.
• The video provides a glossary of common battery terminology.
