  • Patent number: 8119282
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cell connector (6) for a battery, especially for absorbing, in conjunction with at least one damping element (9), the vertical forces that are caused by the impact of shocks. The cell connector (6), at one end, is connected to the positive or negative electrodes (4, 5) which are received in a housing (2) having a housing cover (3), and, at the other end, comprises at least one terminal (7, 8) projecting from the housing cover (3). The aim of the invention is to elastically dampen the electrode plates (4, 5) of an accumulator (1) which are disposed inside a housing (2). For this purpose, a terminal (6) having a supporting shoulder (11), integrally molded thereto, is used in the housing (2), a damping element (9), disposed between the housing cover (3) of an accumulator (1) and the cell connector (6), coming to rest thereon.
