This review provides a detailed overview on bonding techniques used for the assembly of battery packs of modern hybrid and full electric vehicles that are appearing in aviation with special attention towards the more modern laser techniques. We introduce conventional and modern welding and brazing procedures and compare them thoroughly. Among the available alternatives laser based techniques seem to be exceptionally promising due to their reliability, reproducibility and ease of automation, which we will also corroborate in this review. Our work is being supported by the EFOP-3.6.1-16-2016-00014 project, entitled “Research and development of disruptive technologies in the area of e-mobility and their integration into the engineering education”.
