A battery jacket having an adhesive layer between an outer layer and a release layer, with the jacket being of a predetermined shape to substantially conform to the exterior surface of a battery. The jacket desirably has hinge lines to improve its ability to conform to the battery. On removing the release layer, the jacket is applied to the battery by pressing the adhesive layer onto the exterior surface of the battery and conforming the jacket to the exterior surfaces of the battery.

A one piece connector, as for a battery, comprising a connecting means having an integral bottom wall with a boss extending from the bottom wall, the boss being formed of continuous material. A connector assembly in which the said one piece connector is attached to a supporting means.

One piece connector

A battery case which expands to accommodate expansion of individual cells therein while maintaining structural integrity. The case comprises an open ended cell holder with a sleeve thereon covering the open end of said cell holder. The cell holder and the sleeve are adhered to each other by an elastomeric adhesive.

Expandable battery case

A battery with a female terminal having a jacket which prevents accidental short circuits and maintains resiliency of the terminal.

Battery with protectively jacketed female terminal

A sealing grommet in a cylindrical electrochemical cell designed for long term use, the grommet having an extended area which is compressed between a separator having structural integrity and a cell top.

Modified grommet for long term use cells

A battery including means housing a plurality of electrically interconnected electrochemical cells. Each electrochemical cell includes a container retaining an aqueous electrolyte, and anode and cathode electrodes. The aqueous electrolyte evolves hydrogen, under certain conditions, during electrical discharge and/or storage of the cell. The cathode electrode includes a reducible oxide of a metal. The battery housing includes an agent for converting hydrogen to water molecules and a second agent for retaining water molecules.

A method for encasing electrochemical cells in a porous structure of pellets adhered to one another enabling individual cell venting, and a battery utilizing the porous structure.

Porous light weight battery filler

An electrochemical cell is provided with means for isolating and segregating the mercury droplets formed during the electrochemical consumption of amalgamated anodic materials. The segregating means comprises amalgamable metal sheet, preferably of expanded surface area as provided by grids of screening or expanded metal lath, in contact and adjacent to the inactive face of the anode. While zinc is the exemplified anode, the grid will protect other amalgamated anodes including cadmium and lead in aqueous systems, and lithium, sodium and calcium in non-aqueous systems.
