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:
Improvements in the electric batteries, of the multi-cell type comprising (a) a container provided with a lid having at least one partition dividing the interior space of the container into several compartments for cells, (b) an intercellular plate connector extending through each partition, the partition being molded around the intercell plate connector, (c) a stack including alternately positive and negative electrodes in each cell compartment, one end of each intercell plate connector being connected to the positive electrodes of the stack of a cell compartment and the other end of each intercell connector being connected to the negative electrodes of the stack of the adjacent cell compartment, (d) a connecting plate of the end cell in each cell of the end cell, one of the connection plates of the end cells being connected to the electrodes the positives of the battery in its extreme cell compartment and the other connection plate of the end cells to the negative electrodes of the cell of its extreme cell compartment are connected, and (e) a pair of terminals, one of which it extends from the positive end cell board connector of one end cell to the outside of the container provided with lid and the other of which extends from the negative end cell board connector of the other end cell to the outside of the container provided with cover, characterized in that the battery comprises a joint or coupling molded in one piece with the container and that is attached to one end of an intercellular plate connector, the coupling being constructed so as to flex and allow movement relative side of the end of the intercell plate connector to which it is attached with respect to the container.
