VERFAHREN ZUM ZUSAMMENBAU VON BATTERIEN UND GERAET.

摘要

Method and apparatus for joining lead battery parts (e.g., plate lugs, intercell connectors, and terminals) together via a low-resistance electrical coupling wherein substantially oxide-free, arc-melted, superheated molten lead is cast into a cavity (114) between the parts (102,106). The parts (102,106) are shielded from the arc whilst being bathed in a non-oxidizing atmosphere which is preferably formed from an ionizable, non-oxidizing gas heated by a lead-melting arc and is spewed onto the parts (102,106) along with the molten lead to provide additional heat thereto.
