How to Make a Battery in 7 Easy Steps

From smartphones to electric cars to home energy storage devices, rechargeable batteries power our modern lives. But have you ever stopped to wonder what’s inside these devices that allow us to send emojis, drive around town and so much more? If so, check out the Advanced Battery Facility.

The facility is one of a very few experimental battery manufacturing labs that are available to help academia and industry develop and test new batteries. Most of these places are owned by private companies that keep their proprietary tests under wraps, but a few DOE labs – Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Argonne National Laboratory – operate more open facilities so the results can often be made public.

PNNL’s semi-automated Advanced Battery Facility enables scientists to test out all kinds of different materials – including lithium-metal, sulfur, sodium and magnesium – to make batteries last longer and store more energy. The tests are helping scientists from national labs, universities and industry find lower-cost replacements for today’s most common rechargeable battery, the lithium-ion battery.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who lives in a factory full with assembly equipment.

[emmanuelkebede]

Thanks. Can you also make a 7 step tutorial for making the machines that built the battery?

[janaraj]

Pls change your title to HOW BATTERIES MANUFACTURED
Ya obviously no one has such handy chemical ingredients and vacuum and mixing machinies
How come its simple 7 steps...its all about your whole days work man...

I'm on a camping, my phone is dying. Thanks to you, I can now make a battery of my own to charge it. I just need to find some chemicals and build lab machines

[JayDivse]

Great work ! I am Ph.D in Chemistry and always fascinated by small power sources for future. As you said, sodium will replace lithium batteries and graphene can b also used as superbatteries. We may run car on a battery for whole day soon.

How to make a battery in one easy step
1) buy it

[tylerdurdin]

How do you keep the lithium from oxidizing and catching fire?

[duztuif]

Thanks, this information very helpful and simple. It's real easy 7 steps. Idk why this vid have to many dislikes.

[thejavaman]

Thank god. Now i can make my own battery.

[jasonbrown]

i was able to make several batteries, thanks again!!

[rylandc]

Thee equipment that you used was really mesmerising... Your way of promoting your product was good however I for one am in India how would I be able to buy your product. Amazing video good job. Make it big.

7 Easy Steps
Did i mention :Only if you have an advanced laboratory.

To use electronics at a much longer battery life, takes more than just an efficient battery. It takes an efficient device.

‘how to make a battery’ 🔋 implies I can make one at home 🏡 🤔 not quite sure how I’m supposed to achieve that when I need a specialist laboratory 🧫 and lots and lots of chemicals, materials, equipment and quite a bit of money 💵
Great video all the same 😁👍👍👍👍👍

[luongmaihunggia]

Can't wait for the lithium-air one.

[sureshpandey]

So easy that everybody can make at home.

[TechsScience]

Is the battery charged when it's made???

[ashtonbeattie]

it's funny because not only is the battery he gave her bigger than the one in her phone, but it's also roughly 3 times less energy dense (1 Ah).

[pcpatel]

Am using graphene layers for anode but cant fimd a suitable cathode, any suggestions?

[mbcolern]

Very interesting technology has come so far would these types of batteries be potentially used in an electric bike also
