A multicell electric storage battery includes a compartmented container covered by a lid and has two or more cells, each containing alternate positive and negative electrodes interleaved with compressible fibrous absorbent separator material and substantially no free unabsorbed electrolyte. Every alternate electrode in the two end cells is a unipolar plate 12 and the remaining electrodes are one half of a bipolar plate 14 connected to its other half in an adjacent cell by a bridge piece 16. The bridge pieces 16 constitute the intercell connectors and pass around at least one of the sides of the intercell partitions 10. <IMAGE> |
