About electric accumulators

cpc code 46420 covers the production of electric accumulators, also known as rechargeable batteries. These devices are essential components in a wide range of applications, from portable electronics and power tools to electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems. As the global demand for energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly technologies continues to grow, the electric accumulator industry plays a crucial role in supporting the transition towards a more sustainable future.

Production process

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 housed in a protective casing. The cells are then filled with an electrolyte solution and sealed, allowing the storage and release of electrical energy through reversible chemical reactions.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of electric accumulators include the raw materials for the electrode plates, such as lead, lithium, or nickel; the electrolyte solutions; and the various components for the accumulator casing, such as plastics or metals. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment are necessary for the precise manufacturing and assembly of the accumulators.

Production outputs

The primary output of the electric accumulator industry is, of course, the rechargeable batteries themselves. These accumulators are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 46300 Electrical equipment, 29100 Motor vehicles, and 27100 Electronic components, among others. The electric accumulators produced under cpc code 46420 are essential for powering a diverse array of electronic devices, vehicles, and energy storage systems.
