Abstract: An electrochemical cell and method for producing the same having superior recharge and discharge characteristics through the use of thin non-perforated lead films.
Abstract: An end connector for a battery in which a set of interleafing battery plates is electrically and mechanically connected with a cast-on element to form a secure attachment with no discontinuities. The preferred embodiment utilizes a set of lead or lead alloy plates having an edge that is immersed into a mold of molten material that forms the end connector.
Abstract: An improved rechargeable electrochemical cell having superior recharge and discharge capabilities characterized by the use of ultra-thin non-perforated negative and positive films of lead or nickel to be used in lead acid and nickel cadmium systems. Such electrochemical cells being further characterized by improved terminal connectors that provide a low-resistance low-heat producing connection for rapid discharge applications.
Abstract: This invention relates to a method for the production of electrochemical cells having superior recharge and discharge capabilities. The cells are characterized by the use of ultra-thin non-perforated negative and positive films of lead or nickel to be used in lead acid and nickel cadmium systems. The method includes the use of a single sheet of separator material that has been infiltrated with electrolyte prior to its spiral winding into a mandrel.
