A base station encoder is connected to a decoder terminal and paging transmitter by means of a single voice-pair telephone line link. Automatic operations reduce operator fatigue and operating costs. Digital, tone-keyed gain controls automatically compensate for line losses. All dialing, including long distance and overseas calls, and station identification are done automatically.

A housing for a battery cell includes a built-in switch for opening the circuit to the battery in response to excess pressure and/or temperature. The housing has a first conducting contact connected to the first battery electrode, and a second contact connected to the second electrode and connected through a wall of the housing to provide a circuit to the battery cell. The second contact may be a porous wall to allow gasses which form in the battery cell to pass to the outer housing wall, and when the pressure exceeds a predetermined value the outer wall will flex and open the electrical connection to the battery. The outer wall can be a bimetallic disc which flexes with rise in temperature of the battery cell to open the connection when the temperature exceeds a predetermined value. The pressure responsive action can be provided alone, the temperature responsive action can be provided alone, or the two features can be used in combination to provide a housing wherein the connection to the battery is opened in response to excessive pressure or temperature, or a combination of the two conditions.
