Tesla 4680 Cylindrical Cell Teardown and Characterization
Tesla 4680 Cylindrical Cell Teardown and Characterization (a) Tabs. (b) Dimensions of the electrodes and separators. (c) Dimensions of cathode and anode disk including a close-up of the leaf-shaped connectors with length and shape of the laser weldings. Drawings are not to scale. (d) Electrode properties over the full length of the anode and cathode sheet. Battery research depends upon up-to-date information on the cell characteristics found in current electric vehicles, which is exacerbated by the deployment of novel formats and architectures. This necessitates open access to cell characterization data. Therefore, this study examines the architecture and performance of first-generation Tesla 4680 cells in detail, both by electrical characterization
