A method and apparatus for forming accumulator plates is described. Lead strips (24) is fed between a pair of dies having opposed grooved faces which squeeze the strip and deform it to produce a grooved profile (28). The dies are heated so as to raise the temperature of the lead strip to approximately 200 DEG C. A stamping-out, cutting operation is then performed on the strip to define a plate (26) with a lug and cell connections. The dies and stamping/cutting- out tool may be mounted between separate pairs of upper and lower press members or may be mounted between a single pair of such members. <IMAGE> |
