Abstract
A storage battery comprising a thermoplastic cover having a hollow metallic terminal therein and a thermoplastic case having an upstanding metallic core member passing through the terminal is assembled using vibratory energy. The cover and the case undergo relative reciprocating translating motion while under the influence of a static force applied in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the mating surfaces between the cover and case. The terminal and core are dimensioned for providing a peripheral clearance around the core in the direction of the reciprocating motion at least equal to the peak-to-peak displacement of the vibratory motion. The gap existing between the core and the terminal when the battery is assembled is sealed.
