    摘要: Methods and systems for forming electrochemical cells are provided. An electrochemical cell may be provided, with the electrochemical cell including a first electrode, a second electrode, a separator between the first electrode and the second electrode, and an electrolyte. At least the first electrode is a silicon-dominant electrode. A formation process may be used for the electrochemical cell, with the processing including at least a charge step that includes providing a formation charge current at greater than about 1C to the electrochemical cell, where providing the formation charge current includes charging to a partial formation.

    摘要: A battery pack includes: a plurality of battery cells arranged in a line in one arrangement direction; a pair of end plates disposed at opposite ends of the plurality of battery cells in the arrangement direction; a pair of binding bars disposed on opposite sides of the plurality of battery cells in a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction; and an insulator disposed in a gap between each of the binding bars and the battery cells. The insulator having an initial thickness larger than a thickness of the gap before insertion of the insulator into the gap in a compressed state. The end plates sandwich the battery cells therebetween in the arrangement direction, and the binding bars sandwich the battery cells therebetween in the direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction.
