A rechargeable portable lead-acid battery is described for use in providing electrical power to portable devices such as lanterns and the like. The battery particularly includes a molded polymer container having a plurality of upstanding walls defining at least two cells separated by partition wall means. A channel wall means joins one of the upstanding container walls, the one upstanding container wall and channel wall means defining a spacial separation therebetween, this channel wall means having a bottom edge and opposite ends connected to the upstanding container wall and having an upper edge generally parallel to the upper edge of one of the upstanding container walls and spaced from the upper edge of the one upstanding container wall. At least a pair of battery plates are supported in each of the cells, one of these plates of each pair being a negative plate and the other plate being a positive plate. An aperture is provided in the partition wall means. Means are included for providing electrical connections between a positive plate of one of the cells and a negative plate of the other cell, this connection means including an electrically conductive connection extending through the aperture. A first cover covers the cells in sealed relation and preventing electrolyte from escaping from the cells. A second battery cover is positioned over the first cover, the first and second covers defining cavity means therebetween, with the second cover supporting a positive terminal and a negative terminal in spaced apart relation, and means for providing electrical connection between the plates and the positive terminal and the negative terminal. |
