Battery packs for today’s EV market are typically manufactured by interconnecting several cells in series and/or parallel to achieve the required voltage and current values for different applications. The connections between the cells are made through wire bondings, busbars, flexible and rigid PCBs or other methods which utilize solder joints to make the electrical contact, and the quality of those connections, in terms of electrical resistance, is a key factor to allow the battery pack to work properly. This speech offers an overview of the bonding/welding scenario; in particular the issues created by bad solder joints, impact on manufacturing costs, design for testability suggestions and practical solutions to perform electrical test based on real Kelvin measurements, with a resolution in the range of µOhms, performed via physical contact of the electrical probes of automated mobile probe test systems.

After getting his degree in Electronic Engineering at Politecnico di Torino in 1991 and being a teacher/consultant for the Italian Army for a couple of years, Luca Corli started his career at Seica S.p.A. (Italy) in 1994 as an application and pre-sales engineer, working especially in the flying-probe test environment. During his 29
years spent travelling around the world for Seica he moved into different positions, being responsible for the pre/after-sales group and then a key account manager. From January 2012 he has been director of sales worldwide of Seica Group, driving all sales managers at Seica S.p.A. and subsidiaries located in the United States, Germany, France, China, and Mexico.
