This invention relates to a process for manufacturing storage batteries and the batteries produced by such process. The process comprises the steps of inserting anode and cathode plates into a container; inverting the container and embedding the projecting lugs of the anode and cathode plates in a sealing agent disposed in concavities in a cover for the container; sealing the cover on the container; removing respective portions of the cover after the solidification of the sealing agent to present thereby a plurality of cavities, each of which exposes the lugs of corresponding anode plates and cathode plates of adjacent cells to be interconnected; forming connectors for the lugs by filling each cavity with a molten conductive material and allowing the molten material to solidify; and coating the connectors with an insulator. The present invention presents a process which is easily adapted for mass production of inexpensive storage batteries which perform favorably. 4 figures (auth)
