In general, after a lithium battery, a storage battery, etc. is manufactured, an Electrolyte solution is injected into the battery, and the battery is formed by using a battery formation device, that is, the battery is charged and discharged with a small current to activate the battery, so as to form a Solid Electrolyte Interface (SEI) film on a positive electrode and a negative electrode. Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a battery formation apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The battery formation apparatus 100 shown in fig. 1 can simultaneously form a plurality of batteries 001. The plurality of batteries 001 may be the same type of battery 001 or different types of batteries 001. As shown in fig. 1, the battery formation apparatus 100 may include a base 110, a probe assembly (not shown in fig. 1), and a vent 160.

As shown in fig. 1, the base 110 is a base of the battery formation apparatus 100 for placing and fixing the battery 001 to be formed. The base 110 may house a plurality of batteries 001 at the same time.

The probe assembly is used for connecting the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the battery 001 so as to charge and discharge the battery 001.

In the process of charging and discharging the battery 001 using the battery formation apparatus 100, a chemical reaction may occur inside the battery 001 to generate gas, which is harmful to the environment and the human body, and may cause the sealed battery 001 to swell, thereby reducing the safety of the battery 001. Therefore, a negative pressure air extraction method is needed in the formation process to extract and collect the produced gas. The exhaust device 160 is used to exhaust harmful gases in the battery 001. Exhaust apparatus 160 may include at least one target cleaning component 180, negative pressure main 166, and negative pressure generating apparatus 168.
