Abstract:
A moveable member is confined between a seat inside a battery and a hole in the battery cover. The seat may be: integrally constructed with the container walls; attached to and depending from either the walls of the container or the underside of the battery cover; sealed between the cover and container; or otherwise locked in place by the cover and container. The moveable member may be designed to function along with the cover as a nonspill vent by sealing off the hole in the cover when the battery is tilted beyond a preselected angle or to function as an indicating device to indicate when the height or the specific gravity of the electrolyte departs from a preselected point.
Abstract:
A multicell battery having intercell strap connectors around which the partitions are molded has joints integrally molded with and extending from the partitions and end walls of the container and also joined to the ends of the intercell strap connectors. The joints permit lateral movement of the ends of the intercell strap connectors with respect to the container, and thus prevent distortion of the container as the container and intercell strap connectors shrink or expand by unequal amounts.
Abstract:
A BATTERY COMPRISING BLOW MOLDED BATTERY CELL MODULES IS DISCLOSED WHEREIN EXTERNAL INTERCELL CONNECTORS ARE PROVIDED FOR INTERCONNECTING THE INDIVIDUAL MODULES. THE MODULES ARE HOUSED IN A BLOW MOLDED BATTERY CONTAINER WHICH HAS A MANIFOLD VENTING ARRANGEMENT.
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.
