Electric accumulators; lithium-ion, including separators, whether or not rectangular (including square)

HS v2017 Code: 850760

About electric accumulators; lithium-ion, including separators, whether or not rectangular (including square)

hs code 850760 covers electric accumulators, specifically lithium-ion batteries, including their separators, whether rectangular or square in shape. These batteries are a critical component in a wide range of electronic devices and electric vehicles, making them an essential part of the modern technology landscape. As the demand for portable power and renewable energy solutions continues to grow, the lithium-ion battery industry has become increasingly important within the broader global economy.

Production process

The production of lithium-ion batteries involves several key steps. First, the cathode and anode materials are prepared, often using specialized manufacturing processes to ensure the desired electrochemical properties. These materials are then assembled into cells, which are stacked or wound to create the battery pack. The cells are sealed and filled with an electrolyte solution, which facilitates the flow of ions between the electrodes during charging and discharging. Finally, the battery pack is equipped with various safety and control systems to ensure safe and efficient operation.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of lithium-ion batteries include the raw materials for the cathode (such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese), the anode (typically graphite), and the electrolyte solution. Specialized manufacturing equipment, such as cell assembly lines and battery pack assembly systems, are also essential inputs. Additionally, the industry relies on a range of supporting components, including separators, current collectors, and battery management systems.

Production outputs

The primary output of hs code 850760 is lithium-ion batteries, which are used in a wide range of applications, including 851711 mobile phones, 851762 laptops and tablets, 870321 electric vehicles, and 940520 power tools. These batteries are also used in 940510 household appliances and 940540 lighting equipment, as well as in 940520 industrial machinery and 940590 other electrical equipment.
