A battery including a container, a cover and an end wall stiffener block. Th e container is molded with a compartment between an outer and an inner end wal l into which the stiffener block is inserted. The stiffener block is preferabl y made of a stiff plastic or of metal. The stiffener block and compartment are sized so that a contacting relationship is maintained between the inner wall , the block, and the outer wall. The inner wall also maintains a contacting relationship with the active internal components of the battery. During assembly, both the inner and the outer end walls are heat-sealed to the cove r, such that the compartment is entirely sealed. |
