A charged storage battery having improved low temperature activation performance characteristics upon the addition of electrolyte is made by installing assembled battery elements into the container cell compartments; electrically connecting the battery elements; filling the cell compartments with the forming electrolyte, with or without the cover installed; forming the battery elements into a fully charged state; removing about 70 to about 97 (preferably about 77 to 87) weight per cent of the forming acid, based upon the total weight of the forming acid in the battery after formation, by applying an accelerative force (preferably a centrifugal force) to the battery; and installing means to seal the battery against the ingress of air into the cell compartments. In a preferred embodiment, the low temperature activation performance of the battery is further improved by allowing the battery elements to stand in the forming electrolyte for a time period after the forming step and then applying a boost charge to the battery elements prior to removing the forming acid.
