11 Channel Battery Sorting Machine with Computer Software for 18650 21700 Cell is used for cylindrical lithium battery cell internal resistance (IR) and voltage testing before battery pack assembly. After testing, the machine sorts cells into different channels according to the preset voltage and IR ranges, helping battery pack manufacturers group cells with similar electrical performance.
The computer software version is suitable when customers need clearer test data collection, sorting record management and easier setting of voltage and internal resistance ranges. It is commonly used for 18650 and 21700 cylindrical cell pack production where traceability and data handling are important.
Why Cylindrical Cells Need Sorting
Even cells from the same supplier or the same batch can have different voltage and internal resistance values. If cells with large parameter differences are assembled into one battery pack, the pack balance, discharge consistency and service performance may be affected. Cell sorting helps prepare more consistent cell groups before spot welding, BMS assembly and pack aging.
Machine Function
The sorting machine is composed of a mechanical structure, feeding system, testing system and control system. Cells are placed into the feeding bin, then the roller mechanism moves each cell to the test position. The test probes contact the positive and negative terminals, the tester reads voltage and internal resistance, and the controller sorts the cell into the corresponding channel according to the preset range.

FAQ
What does the battery sorting machine test?
It tests cylindrical cell voltage and internal resistance, then sorts cells into different channels according to the set ranges.
Can the machine support both 18650 and 21700 cells?
Yes. This model is mainly used for 18650 and 21700 cylindrical cells, and the mold should be changed according to the selected cell format.
Why choose a computer software version?
The computer software version is useful when the customer needs data collection, sorting records and convenient parameter management.
Why choose a touch screen version?
The touch screen version is useful when the customer wants direct machine operation and simple on-site parameter setting without focusing on computer-side data management.
