Release time:
2026-02-04
In the energy storage sector, long-term safety is a direct result of cell consistency. Huiyao Laser has engineered its 2026 sorting solutions to align with the high-precision requirements of Tier-1 battery assembly, targeting a voltage resolution of 0.05mV and internal resistance (IR) precision of 0.1mΩ. Our goal is to provide engineers with the data accuracy needed to minimize thermal deltas during high-rate discharge in 314Ah+ configurations.
Engineering for Consistency
In the energy storage sector, long-term safety is a direct result of cell consistency. Huiyao Laser has engineered its 2026 sorting solutions to align with the high-precision requirements of Tier-1 battery assembly, targeting a voltage resolution of 0.05mV and internal resistance (IR) precision of 0.1mΩ. Our goal is to provide engineers with the data accuracy needed to minimize thermal deltas during high-rate discharge in 314Ah+ configurations.
The Role of Delta-OCV in Predictive Sorting
Static OCV measurement is a foundational step, but identifying cells with abnormal self-discharge requires a more nuanced approach. Huiyao Laser implements "Multi-Point Delta-OCV" analysis within our automated lines. By monitoring voltage fluctuations over specific micro-intervals, our system helps identify cells that may exhibit higher-than-average aging profiles. While no system can predict every failure, this data-driven filtering helps reduce the balancing load on the BMS, aiming for a more stable usable energy capacity over the pack's lifecycle.
Technical Specifications: Sorting Capability
| Feature | Huiyao Engineering Target | Industry Average | Functional Objective |
| OCV Resolution | ±0.05mV | ±0.5−1.0mV | Improved SoC Estimation |
| IR Precision | 0.1mΩ (Kelvin) | 0.5−1.0mΩ | Thermal Uniformity |

| Throughput (PPM) | Up to 120PPM | 30−60PPM | Scalable Production |
Engineering Insight: Precision Measurement Interfaces
Achieving reliable 0.1mΩ measurement in a high-speed environment is a mechanical challenge. Huiyao Laser utilizes a 4-wire Kelvin measurement method featuring gold-plated, spring-loaded coaxial probes. This setup is designed to isolate the cell's true internal resistance from the resistance of the test leads and contact points. Furthermore, our machines incorporate polymer-coated guides to minimize mechanical friction, protecting the cell's insulation film (2500V DC rating) throughout the automated handling process.
Conclusion
Precise sorting is an essential building block for ESS stability. Huiyao Laser is committed to providing transparent, high-resolution data integration for every cell, supporting the industry's push toward comprehensive "Digital Passports" for batteries.
