Abstract: A method for manufacturing a battery having a temporary side terminal cast integrally with the permanent side terminal.

Abstract: A storage battery has a temporary side terminal cast integrally with the permanent side terminal.

Abstract: A novel battery package is described wherein a sealing strip having a plurality of minute vent holes, one for each opening in the battery case, is retained in place by a plurality of disposable inserts which retain the strip in place and which seal the strip at least around the top surface of each of the battery case venting ports. Each of the inserts are equipped with a vent aperture a portion of which is surrounded on its top surface by raised indicia which extend to the periphery of the inserts. An adhesive strip is applied to engage each disposable insert to form a circuitous venting passage therebetween. The strip also engages the sealing strip, as well as the edges of the battery case in such a manner so that, upon activation, the entire battery package may be removed and disposed of by loosening one end of the sealing strip and pulling that strip up and across the top of the battery to expose each of the fill holes for activation.

Abstract: A wet cell storage battery which has been charged and contains electrolyte, has the electrolyte dumped, and then is prepared for storage in a condition with the residual electrolyte in the battery plates and separators within the battery cells. This preparation includes the application of a vented sealing strip to the ports of the battery, upon which strip is applied standard gang vents which are then held in place by a retaining means for shipment.
