Abstract
A multistaged high pressure post seal system resistant to acid attack. A post cavity (18), formed within a battery case (14), contains a post (16) projecting through a bore (20) at the base of the cavity (18). An O-ring (24) disposed between the post (16) and the bore (20) of the cavity (18) forms a first seal. A self-sealing member (32 or 40) in communication with the post (16) forms a second seal whereas epoxy (36) introduced into the cavity (18) forms a third seal. Two embodiments are disclosed.
