Abstract
An improved method of interconnecting cells in batteries is disclosed, where the cells are connected using lead links which straddle the walls separating the cells in the battery housing. Grooves are provided in the surfaces of the links which are adjacent the walls and multiple indentations are provided in the opposite surfaces of the links. The links are coated with a sealant which flows into the grooves under the force of capillary action and forms a gas tight seal between cells.
