A method of manufacturing a battery consisting of one or several cells piled on each other and integrally connected along their circumferences. Each cell comprises a zinc anode, an alkaline electrolyte, a cathode of mercuric oxide, silver oxide or manganese dioxide or a mixture thereof, and a cell casing in the form of a plastic cup. A terminal plate is located on both sides of the plastic cup, said terminal plates abutting a substantial area of the outer and the inner side of the bottom, whereby at least one terminal plate comprises at least one projecting knob extending through a comparatively small aperture in the bottom of the cup and being connected by spot welding to the second terminal plate in such a manner that the plates sandwich and under pressure abut the material in the bottom of the cup. Prior to the spot welding a mass is added in the form of bitumen to the aperture in the bottom of the cup, the sealing mass being pressed sideways during the spot welding. The sealing mass is added as a drop, which need not hit the aperture in the bottom of the cup with a particularly high accuracy. This part of the manufacturing process is thus simplified and consequently more suited for mass production. To this should be added that the sealing mass adheres to the metal surfaces and prevents the electrolyte from travelling along the metal surfaces. |
