Abstract: A container for a maintenance-free lead-acid storage battery includes a multi-compartment base wherein individual cells of the battery are contained. An overlying cover in vapor-sealed engagement with the base includes a plurality of integrally-molded filler wells which extend from a recess in the top surface of the cover into respective cell compartments of the battery. A one-piece molded vent cover seated within the recess includes a plurality of vent plug portions which extend through the filler wells into respective ones of the cell compartments. An annular flange associated with each filler well coacts with ribs on the vent plug portions to lock the vent cover in place.

Abstract: A container for a remotely-vented lead-acid storage battery includes a multi-compartment base containing individual cells of the battery and an overlying cover in vapor-sealed engagement with the base. A gas collection manifold positioned within a recess in the bottom surface of the cover includes a plurality of interconnected expansion chambers which communicate with respective ones of the battery cell compartments, and a discharge port exterior to the battery container. Battery gas collected within the expansion chambers is conveyed within the manifold to the discharge port, thereby avoiding the need for additional gas collection elements external to the cover and the attendant possibility of leakage of battery gas in the vicinity of the battery.

Abstract: A container produced in a mold assembly comprising a cavity member and a core member having depending core segments where the free ends of such core members are stabilized during molding by means of locking members within such core members and engagable with the cavity member so as to produce partitions and walls for the containers of uniform thickness and spacing.
