Lead-acid battery post seals for the new Bell System battery

Journal Article · · Bell Syst. Tech. J.; (United States)
The seal consists of a cylindrical clamp of a rigid cured epoxy resin molded in place on the lead posts and a flexible one-piece butyl rubber structure attached to the epoxy and to the battery jar cover. Accelerated tests show that the seal effectively slows lead corrosion. A useful seal life in excess of 40 years is predicted.
