Recombination multicell electric storage battery

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6495486

A recombination lead acid battery includes a plurality of cells comprising alternating positive and negative plates interleaved with separator material. Every alternate plate in the two electrical end cells constitutes an unipolar plate connected to a terminal pillar and each remaining plate constitutes one half of a bipolar pair of plates connected by means of an integral bridge piece to its other half in an adjacent cell. The bridge pieces together constitute intercell connectors and those cells which are directly connected by an intercell connector are spaced apart only by the intercell connector and separated only by an air gap while those cells which are not directly connected by an intercell connector are separated by an intercell partition integral with the battery container.
