A method of forming battery leads, comprising the steps of: forming a plurality of aligned, spaced-apart elongated openings in a rectangular, metallic sheet, the metallic sheet having side edges and a width between the side edges equal to a desired length of a battery lead, the openings extending between the side edges and being aligned in a row that extends parallel to the side edges; treating areas of the surfaces of the metallic sheet between the openings to enhance the adhesive properties thereof; applying a strip of an adhesive/sealant material to each side of the metallic strip over the area and the slots; and cutting a battery lead from the metallic sheet by cutting the metallic sheet widthwise through each opening from one side edge to the other side edge.
