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:
Batteries are described having battery posts disposed wholly within the battery container. Terminal inserts are installed through the walls of the battery container and into the posts within by a method combining high-speed rotation and pressure. The terminal inserts make permanent electrical and mechanical contact with the interior battery posts and provide external electrical contact means. Means are described to lock the wall of the container to the post and insert and provide a liquidtight seal therebetween.
Abstract:
VENT PLUG An annular skirt is provided on a storage battery vent plug to eliminate the formation of current conducting electrolyte paths originating at the interior of the battery and terminating at a point of differing electrical potential on the exterior of the battery.
