A simplified seal means for a lead acid battery includes a downwardly depending sleeve member 50 integral with a cover member, and a sliding member 44 including an insert member 42 with an aperture for receiving a battery terminal or post, molded into the sliding member, which is closely sealingly slidably received in the sleeve member, to form a simple sliding seal between the sliding member and the cover member. Preferably, the sleeve member includes a thin flexible portion at its lower end, and having a terminal portion which is sealingly affixed to the lower end of the sliding member, such as by ultrasonic welding, to maintain a positive seal between the cover member and the sliding member as the battery post moves upward due to increase in size of battery plates with use. <IMAGE> |
