Abstract: A rechargeable battery includes a cover and at least one connecting pole comprising a pole shank inserted into a pole sleeve having an inner casing. The connecting pole is closed from the outside of the rechargeable battery such that it is liquid-tight and gas-tight. The pole sleeve is electrically conductively connected to the pole shank and is held in a liquid-tight and gas-tight manner by the cover. A first section of the pole shank is electrically conductively connected in a gas-tight and liquid-tight manner to the inner casing of the pole sleeve. A sliding element is provided between a second section of the pole shank and the inner casing of the pole sleeve.

Abstract: A process for producing supporting frameworks for electrodes of galvanic elements, in the form of plates which include expanded metal, including providing a metal strip with incisions in the conveying direction, expanding the metal strip substantially transversely to the incisions, pressing/flattening the expanded metal in a region of the strip selected for cuts to be made transversely to the conveying direction, and dividing the strip by cutting in the region.
