Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus includes a charging circuit configured to electrically connect to a plurality of batteries during manufacture of a set of batteries that includes the plurality of batteries. The apparatus further includes a battery bank configured to supply charge to the plurality of batteries during a formation process of each battery of the plurality of batteries and to receive the charge from the plurality of batteries during the formation process. The battery bank has at least one attribute that enables the battery bank to concurrently charge, for each plurality of batteries of the set of batteries, a particular number of batteries based on at least a threshold charging rate and to concurrently discharge, for each plurality of batteries of the set of batteries, the particular number of batteries based on at least a threshold discharging rate.
