Multicell electric batteries

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7079112

A multicell electric battery has an intercell partition, the faces of which comprise two parallel conducting sheets connected together, as by spot welding, by means of one or more symmetrically positioned dimples, which constitute intercell connectors. Each conducting sheet is electrically connected to the adjacent electrode plate, either directly or indirectly by means of a compressible conducting cushion which contacts the sheet and either the adjacent plate or a further sheet which is electrically connected to the adjacent plate. The invention also includes a method of assembling a multicell electric battery which includes sliding the plates of each cell as a unit incorporating contacts into a battery casing also incorporation contacts--the intercell and/or terminal connections being effected by sliding engagement between the contacts of the plate unit and those of the casing. 7 figures.
