A BATTERY AND A PROCESS FOR MAKING A BATTERY

摘要

A process for making a battery includes providing a lid (31) having a least one metal insert (22) containing an aperture or apertures (26) for the plate lugs. During assembly of the battery the lid (31) is placed over the plate stack such that the plate lugs of the battery plates extend into the aperture or apertures (26). Heat is then applied to the outer surface of the metal insert (22) to weld the plate lugs to the insert (22).
