APPARATUS FOR AND METHOD OF FORMING POST SEAL FOR LEAD-ACID CELL

摘要

A post seal design for a lead-acid cell utilizes the combination of a one-piece flexible seal and a post coated with a relatively rigid adhesive coating to inhibit acid leakage. Additionally, the post may contain a number of grooves in its periphery to further inhibit leakage resulting from corrosion of the post. The coating may be applied to the post prior to the installation of the flexible seal thereon, or alternatively, the flexible seal may be used as a mold to cast the coating in place on the post after the installation of the flexible seal.
