Electric accumulators

cpc code 4642 covers the production of electric accumulators, also known as rechargeable batteries. These devices are essential components in a wide range of electronic and electrical equipment, from portable electronics to electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems. As the global demand for energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly power solutions continues to grow, the electric accumulator industry plays a crucial role in supporting the transition towards a more sustainable future.

The production of electric accumulators typically involves several key steps. First, the active materials, such as lead, lithium, or nickel, are prepared and formed into the electrode plates. These plates are then assembled into the accumulator cells, which are sealed and filled with an electrolyte solution. The cells are then charged and tested for performance before being packaged and prepared for distribution.

The main inputs required for the production of electric accumulators include the raw materials for the electrode plates, such as 2013 Lead and zinc ores, 2014 Copper ores and concentrates, and 2017 Other non-ferrous metal ores and concentrates. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment for the manufacturing process, as well as various chemicals and solvents used in the electrolyte solution.

The primary output of the electric accumulator industry is, of course, the rechargeable batteries themselves. These products are then consumed by a wide range of other industries, including 2712 Manufacture of electricity distribution and control apparatus, 2720 Manufacture of batteries and accumulators, and 2910 Manufacture of motor vehicles, among others. The electric accumulators produced under this code are essential components in the growing market for electric and hybrid vehicles, as well as in the storage of renewable energy.
