Plural cell storage battery where adjacent cells (3, 4) are separated by an isolated partition (2) and where, in one cell, electrodes (5, 6) mainly shaped as parallel plates extend from each of the cell partitions (2) and in the end cells from the end-walls and reach almost across the cell. The plates (5, 6) are arranged in such a way that within the cell every other plate is of one polarity and extends from one partition or end wall and every other plate is of the opposite polarity and extends from the opposite partition and in such a way that the plates extend in pairs from the partitions and plates of opposite polarities in neighbouring cells are connected together through the partition by at least one conductor extending in a leakproof manner through the partition. Characteristic for the storage battery is that corresponding parts (20) of the electrode-plates (5, 6) in such a pair are directly connected by a principally rodshaped conductor, in a known way extending in a leakproof manner through the partition whereby the inherent electrical conductivity of the active material is used for the main part of collection and distribution of current within said parts of the electrodes whereby the size of said parts corresponds to said conductivity and whereby the cross-section, parallel to the plane of the plates, of said parts is at the least 2 cm<2> and at the most 50 cm<2>, preferably 10-15 cm<2>. Characteristic is also that said conductors extend into each plate (5, 6) lengthwise that is in a direction from the partition and only to a part of the length of the plate whereby the inherent electrical conductivity of the active material is utilized for collecting or distributing current within the parts outside the current conductors. |
