Electric battery with multi-cell stack isolation
Patent
·
OSTI ID:7325235
A construction which minimizes damage to alkaline electrolyte batteries due to electrolyte leakage caused by extreme variations in temperature is disclosed. The batteries comprise a multiplicity of individually sealed cells, arranged in electrically connected stacks, each stack being disposed in a moisture-proof plastic container and/or cup filled with an encapsulating resin in the entire space within the cup, with the encapsulated assembly being housed in a metal outer container. The cells within each stack and each stack itself is thus isolated, this isolation minimizing any damage that might result from intercell leakage, from interstack leakage, and from leakage that would corrosively affect associated equipment in an assembled apparatus, due to extreme temperature variations, especially under high humidity conditions. 5 figures.
