METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR STACKING BATTERY CELLS

A method for stacking a battery cell includes feeding a separator sheet through a guide assembly to fold the separator sheet, inserting a plurality of first electrodes into the separator sheet at a location where the separator sheet has been folded by the guide assembly, forming respective channels in the folded separator sheet including the plurality of first electrodes, inserting a plurality of second electrodes in the respective channels to form a multilayered body, and pressing the multilayered body to form the stacked battery cell where the plurality of first electrodes and the plurality of second electrodes are stacked in an alternating arrangement.
