About accumulators, primary cells and primary batteries, and parts thereof

cpc code 464 covers the production and trade of accumulators, primary cells, and primary batteries, as well as their component parts. This industry plays a crucial role in powering a wide range of electronic devices, from portable electronics to industrial equipment. As the global demand for energy-efficient and reliable power sources continues to grow, the 464 industry remains an integral part of the broader economy, supporting advancements in technology and enabling the functioning of countless everyday products.

Production process

The production of accumulators, primary cells, and primary batteries typically involves several key steps. Manufacturers begin by sourcing and processing the necessary raw materials, such as metals, chemicals, and plastics. These materials are then assembled into the various components that make up the final product, including the cell casing, electrodes, and electrolyte. Depending on the specific type of power source, the assembly process may involve techniques like injection molding, metal stamping, or chemical deposition. Quality control and testing procedures are also crucial to ensure the safety and performance of the finished products.

Production inputs

The 464 industry relies on a range of inputs, including metals (such as lead, lithium, and nickel), chemicals (including acids, alkalines, and solvents), and various plastics and other materials for the cell casing and other components. Specialized machinery and equipment, such as battery assembly lines and testing equipment, are also essential inputs for this industry. Additionally, the industry requires a skilled workforce capable of operating the production equipment and performing the necessary quality control measures.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the 464 industry are accumulators, primary cells, and primary batteries, which are then consumed by a wide range of other industries and applications. These power sources are used in 851 Electrical machinery and apparatus, n.e.c., 852 Radio, television, and communication equipment and apparatus, 853 Medical, precision, and optical instruments, watches and clocks, and numerous other sectors that rely on portable or stationary power sources. The industry also produces various component parts, such as battery casings and electrodes, which may be used in the production of other power-related products.
