A thermal interface material coating method for battery cells is disclosed. According to the present invention, a coating system comprising a rotating mechanism, a slot die coater and a substrate is provided so as to be adopted for coating a TIM material onto at least one battery cell. Particularly, the substrate is a meshed plate including a plurality of pores. As such, in case of a coating fluid flow rate of a slit nozzle of the slot die coater, a rotation speed of the rotation mechanism, a thickness of the substrate, and a pore size of the substrate all having been properly designed, it is able to form a TIM film having a laterally-uniform thickness on the battery cell by using the coating system.
