METHOD FOR PRODUCING AN ELECTROCHEMICAL CELL

Method for producing an electrochemical cell (1), wherein the electrochemical cell (1) comprises at least one electrode stack that is received inside a jacket (2), wherein the jacket (2) is formed by at least two jacket parts (3), wherein each jacket part (3) comprises at least one seam surface (5) with which the jacket parts (3) can be brought at least partially in contact, comprising the following method steps: adding a defined amount of auxiliary sealant (9) at least indirectly to a delimited section (8) of the seam surface (5) of at least one jacket part (3); bringing the seam surface (5) of one of the jacket parts (3) in contact with the seam surface (5) of another jacket part (3); subsequently applying heat to the seam surfaces (5).
