Short Description
Cell bonding is a process where a precise amount of adhesive or Thermal Interface Material (TIM) is applied to specific areas of the battery cells. If an adhesive is used, its primary purpose is for structural bonding – either to stick cells to each other, to bond them to module frames, or to secure other components. If a TIM is applied, it creates an efficient thermal pathway, helping to transfer heat generated by the cells to the module's cooling system.
