Abstract
A basket apparatus for clamping a plurality of plate stacks sufficient to form one multi-celled, lead acid storage battery during the casting of the lug commoning straps in each stack is provided. As configured it comprises a frame defining a plurality of internal cavities each configured to hold one of said stacks and a set of individually biased movable clamping plates, one in each of said cavities, each adapted to hold the stack firmly in position during the casting operation. The individual biasing permits firm gripping regardless of any variability in plate or stack thickness.
