The battery assembly shop consists of the module line, pack line, charging and discharging line, and the final assembly line. The battery assembly process at JSW MG Motor India begins with the open circuit voltage test ensures the electrical integrity of each cell, while the cell glue process secures them in place using specialized adhesive. This is followed by welding and module assembly, where spot and laser welding techniques are used to precisely join components. Each module is scanned and aligned to ensure structural accuracy, with laser welding also serving as a key quality assurance step.
Safety testing and electrical connections are critical to the next phase. The insulation resistance test guarantees electrical isolation, while bus bar fixing establishes secure and reliable electrical pathways. These batteries undergo rigorous charging and discharging tests to validate performance and reliability. In the final assembly and performance validation stage, battery modules are integrated into packs, before being installed into MG EVs.
