Abstract

A packaging technique for applying an insulating pack to the housing of a battery cell. The insulating pack is formed from a self-adhesive cutout of insulating material by folding the cutout onto the sides of the housing that are to be covered. The packaging technique involves a packaging method for automatically applying an insulating pack, a battery cell including an insulating pack, a packaging station for carrying out the method, and a preparation device for preparing one or more cutouts of insulating material.
