The first thing to do before starting a battery-manufacturing project is to do a battery feasibility study. Next, you need to write a project report.
Here is an outline of a battery project report.
It features the composition, types, and uses of batteries.
Report on existing industries that consume batteries the demand. Report on electric car battery demand, phone, computer, medical electronic, etc. The growth of these sectors is a pointer of battery market growth in the future.
Demonstrate familiarity with battery components and the functioning of the type of battery you intend to produce. Lithium-ion batteries and the automotive battery may not have similar components. Be clear on sources of lead alloy, sulphuric acid, battery plates, and bitumen if you target lead-acid batteries.
Look at the demand and find out how many batteries you can produce per annum. Is the cost of production economical?
You must address Sulphur-poisoning concerns. Sulphuric acid used in lead-acid battery manufacturing companies is toxic to workers. It also causes environmental pollution. For lithium manufacturing companies, you also need to consider recycling options or rechargeable lithium batteries.
Report on the viability of operational costs such as labor, battery plates, separators, lead, bitumen, etc. It also considers your expected break-even point.
Entrepreneurs seeking to set up a lithium-ion battery or automobile battery manufacturing will find the following tips helpful. If you follow these guidelines, you are sure to start and steer your lithium metal battery company to profitability.
1. Look for staff with technical expertise in battery manufacturing. They should have skills in automobile battery manufacturing, battery management system, and operation of a battery recycling plant.
2. Invest in research and development of new and innovative battery products like ultra-capacitors and energy-storage technology.
3. Explore options for product diversification. Consider automotive battery, watch, cellphone, lithium car battery, etc. curve a niche that is different from your competitors.
4. Hire a marketing expert to do a technical feasibility study on your products. The results of this study help you develop a strong marketing and pricing strategy.
5. Do a good brand awareness campaign. Attend exhibitions for Lithium-ion battery manufacturers and display your products. Look for opportunities to collaborate with the largest battery manufacturers in your country.
6. Lastly, draw a battery business plan to guide your operations and investment decisions.
A visibility study helps potential manufacturers decide on whether to proceed with the battery manufacturing plant or not. Here is the basic outline of a report on the battery feasibility study.
Among other things in the introduction is the project objective. A sample objective is “a feasibility study for automobile lead-acid car battery in Mumbai.” It states the product and manufacturing site.
Based on the study outcomes, is automobile battery manufacturing a viable investment? Consider the investment cost in terms of lead plates, sulphuric acid, separators, bitumen, lead alloy, etc. Compare this with prevailing market prices for lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries. Consider other inputs like technical skill hiring, pollution control, marketing, branding, etc.
Once you know the total investment and monthly operation costs, you need to explore possible sources of funds. Both the lithium-ion business and car battery manufacturing require heavy investment.
Understanding the manufacturing site is critical for battery manufacturing. You need a steady and reliable supply of electricity. You also need access to adequate water supply and a good road network.
The feasibility report explains the available battery specifications and recommends the best option. This includes battery size, voltage, model, and dimensions. You may also compare different battery manufacturing materials in terms of durability, cost, and customer preference.
You must test batteries to ensure they meet manufacturer specifications before selling. You also need to test them against international quality standards. The feasibility report explains how you will test and the cost of equipment needed.
More than 50% of a lead-acid battery in the market contain recycled materials. One of the most commonly recycled material is lead. It is much easier and cheaper to recover lead from used batteries than extract lead from its ore. Recycled batteries are also cheaper than original batteries.
A battery recycling plant is, therefore, a good business opportunity. Besides a battery business plan, a battery manufacturer needs a good battery recycling project report. You need to consider the following questions when writing a battery recycling project report.
1. What is the status of the battery recycling industry?
2. What do you foresee to be the fate of battery recycling and manufacturing?
3. Based on the results of the battery feasibility study, do you think battery recycling is a feasible investment?
4. Considering all inputs and materials such as acid slurry, casing, recycling process, how much will the project cost.
5. What is the process flow for battery recycling? Do you have the skilled personnel and necessary machinery?
6. Lastly, are recycled batteries marketable within your target market?
Lithium-ion batteries are sources of power in many types of equipment. These include watches, electric cars, computers, medical equipment, etc. there is a steady growth in the market potential for lithium battery business. The lithium-ion battery business plan has several parts. Below are the most critical factors to consider.
The market is generally growing at a fast rate, averagely at a CAGR of 17.1%. There is a steady growth in the electric vehicle industry e.g., electric cars and drones. This fuels the growth of Lithium-ion battery business.
Batteries fall under different categories, with each having different manufacturing specifications. In India, the two relevant specifications are the IS 6303-2013 and IS 16046-2015. These are the safety for Li-ion batteries and sealed secondary portable Li-ion batteries, respectively.
You need an acquisition plan for cathode and anode materials, electrolytes, and separators.
You need to identify the appropriate, cost-effective technology. These include ultrasonic welding, resistance spot welding, and ultrasound edge bonding. Other methods are laser welding and mechanical assembly.
