In a battery configuration including a casing having bottom, side and top surfaces, the top surface having a plurality of cell openings therein, an improved flowpath is provided for liquid electrolyte when the battery is tilted onto any one of its side surfaces. The flowpath includes a cover chamber for each cell opening defined by a substantially rectangular peripheral wall surrounding the cell opening; a cylindrical wall surrounding and substantially concentric with the cell opening and located within the substantially rectangular wall, the cylindrical wall interrupted by a relatively small circumferential gap, and a wall extending between the cylindrical wall and an adjacent side of the peripheral wall, the wall tangential to the cylindrical wall and adjacent the gap.
