Abstract: PLEX ELECTRODES ARE STRUCTUALLY CONNECTED BY THE CONTINUOUS CARRIER STRIP; THE CARRIER STRIP IS THEN SUBSEQUENTLY CUT BETWEEN DUPLEX ELECTRODES TO OBTAIN STRUCTURALLY UNCONNECTED BATTERIES. ALTERNATIVELY, THE CARRIER STRIP MAY BE CUT BETWEEN DUPLEX ELECTRODES BEFORE THOSE ELECTRODES ARE ASSEMBLED INTO MULTICELL BATTERIES.

DUPLEX ELECTRODES ARE CONSTRUCTED BY PLACING INTERMITTENT DEPOSITS OF POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE ELECTRODES ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF A CONTINUOUS, ELECTRICALLY NONCONDUCTIVE CARRIER STRIP. ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL ON BOTH SIDES OF AND EXTENDING THROUGH HOLES IN THE NONCONDUCTIVE STRIP IS USED TO CONDUCT CURRENT BETWEEN THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE ELECTRODES. THE DUPLEX ELECTRODES ARE ASSEMBLED INTO MULTICELL BATTERIES, PERFERABLY WHILE THE DU-

Abstract: A membrane extends between and is sealed to the mating exterior and interior surfaces of the container and cover of a multicell battery to provide a liquid-tight seal across the top of each cell compartment inside the battery. The space above the membrane in each of the cell compartments may be used as an electrolyte storage compartment in a battery having dry, charged electrodes. With or without the spaces above the membrane being used to store electrolyte in each cell compartment, the membrane may be used to seal and thus maintain the factory dryness of dry, charged electrodes. As another alternative, the membrane can be used with a ''''wet'''' battery (one having electrolyte in contact with the electrodes when shipped from the factory) to prevent spilling or leaking of electrolyte during battery shipment or storage.

Abstract: A DEFERRED ACTION BATTERY IS DESCRIBED HAVING A CYLINDRICAL PLASTIC CONTAINER WITH METALLIC TERMINAL CONTACT PIECES AT EITHER END. THE BATTERY PLATES ARE ANNULAR IN SHAPE AND DEFINE A CENTRAL CYLINDRICAL CAVITY. WITHIN THE CAVITY ARE LOCATED A BISCUIT OF DRY PRESSED ELECTROLYTE, AN AMPOULE CONTAINING A SOLUTION OF POASSIUM CHROMATE, AND A PLUNGER. A PORTION OF THE PLUNGER PASSES THROUGH THE TOP OF THE BATTERY CONTAINER. THE BATTERY IS ACTIVATED BY FORCING THE PLUNGER INTO THE AMPOULE CAUSING IT TO BREAK. THE LIQUID WITHIN THEN DISSOLVES THE PERCHLORATE TO GIVE THE DESIRED ELECTROLYTE WHICH THEN PERMEATES AND ACTIVATES THE BATTERY.

Abstract: A method of constructing multicell batteries includes placing intermittent deposits of electrodes along Zones No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3. Zone No. 1 is defined as a composite of a first continuous strip of electrically conductive plastic and a second continuous strip of electrically conductive material; intermittent deposits of positive electrodes are placed on the plastic side of Zone No. 1. Zone No. 2 is defined as a composite of a first continuous strip of electrically conductive plastic and a second continuous strip of electrically conductive material; intermittent deposits of negative electrodes are placed on the plastic side of Zone No. 2. Zone No. 3 is defined as a continuous strip of electrically conductive plastic; intermittent deposits of positive and negative electrodes are placed along Zone No. 3, each deposit of positive electrode being on the other side of a Zone No. 3 from and substantially opposite a deposit of negative electrodes. The continuous Zones with the electrodes deposited thereon are collated so that at least one Zone No. 3 is between a Zone No. 1 and a Zone No. 2, so that the electrically conductive plastics in Zone No. 1 and No. 2 are facing the inside of the collation, and so that a deposit of positive electrode on one Zone is opposite a deposit of negative electrode on an adjacent Zone. A separator and electrolyte is placed between each adjacent pair of electrodes in the collation, after which the Zones are sealed together around and between the electrode deposits. Zones No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 may be structurally connected portions of a continuous web while the electrodes are being applied, in which case the web is cut to structurally disconnect the Zones after electrode application. Alternatively, Zones No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 may be structurally unconnected during electrode application. The second continuous strips of electrically conductive material which are members of the composites in Zones No. 1 and No. 2 may be: foils of metals such as steel, aluminum, lead or zinc; metalized deposits such as flame strays, vapor deposits, sputtering, and others; or films impregnated with metallic or other conductive particles. One of these second continuous strips may be wider than and extend beyond the edge of the conductive plastic strip to which it is joined: the extension is wrapped around the edge of the collation and overlaid above the other composite Zone on the other side of the collation to produce a battery having both terminals on one face.

Abstract: Battery grade divalent silver oxide (AgO) active material containing an additive selected from mercury, selenium, tellurium and combinations of mercury with lead or tin to provide improved electrical conductivity and/or improved stability in aqueous alkaline electrolyte, without substantially adversely affecting either property. The additive is present in the divalent silver oxide active material in amounts ranging from about 0.1 to about 5 percent by weight of silver, in both ionic and metallic form, in the active material. Instead of being incorporated into the divalent silver oxide active material, the selenium, tellurium, mercury-lead and mercury-tin additives are also effective when incorporated into the alkaline electrolyte of a battery employing divalent silver oxide positive electrodes. The preferred method for incorporating the additives into the divalent silver oxide active material is by chemical coprecipitation during its preparation, though they can also be physically admixed therewith. The divalent silver oxide active material contains at least 50 percent by weight of divalent silver oxide (AgO) with the balance of the active material comprising monovalent silver oxide (Ag2O) and metallic silver.

Abstract: A BATTERY PLAGUE IMPREGNATED WITH A METAL NITRATE IS HYDRATED BY BEING SUBMERGED IN A HOT, CONCENTRATED HYDROXIDE SOLUTION TO PRODUCE A METAL HYDROXIDE DEPOSIT IN THE PLAGUE AND A HYDROXIDE SOLUTION CONTASINING A NITRATE BYPRODUCT. THE HYDROXIDE SOLUTION CONTAINING THE NITRATE BYPRODUCT IS TRANSMITTED TO A CRYSTALLIZATION TANK WHERE UPON COOLING NITRATE CRYSTALS ARE FORMED AND RECOVERD. THE SOLUTION REMAINING AFTER CRYSTALLIZATION MAY BE RETURNED TO THE HYDRATION TANK. HYDROXIDE SOLUTION MAY BE ADDED TO MAINTAIN THE HYDROXIDE CONCENTRATION IN THE HYDRATION TANK AT A SUBSTANTIALLY UNIFORM LEVEL. BOTH BATCH AND CONTINUOUS PROCESSING MAY BE USED.
