Battery having a solid plate strap connecting negative battery plates and positive battery plates

摘要

A battery has a solid plate strap connecting negative and positive battery plates. The battery container comprises at least two battery cell compartments, each containing the battery plates. The battery cover(12) comprises sets of adjacent plate strap mould wells(16) separated by partition walls each with openings(24) connecting each adjacent well. Molten lead is poured into each set becoming a contiguous mass on solidifying forming an external terminal mould(14). A sealant pre-applied to each well melts upon introduction of the molten lead, cooling to seal the wells.
