Abstract
A method for controlling a supply amount of electrode slurry includes: (1) supplying the slurry from a first tank to a coater; (2) supplying the slurry from a second tank connected to the first tank to the first tank for a predetermined time, when the storage amount of the slurry in the first tank decreases and the level of the first tank reaches a first predetermined level; and (3) automatically interrupting the supply of the slurry from the second tank to the first tank after the predetermined time has elapsed.
