Abstract
A storage battery provided with a cover located over the top wall of the battery casing, the cover being vented so that any gases within the space between the cover and top wall can flow to the atmosphere. An end shield is located alongside each end wall of the battery casing, each end shield being spaced from its respective casing end wall. The cover and end shields may be integrally formed as a single piece of molded plastic, or the end shields may form part of a continuous band surrounding the side and end walls of the casing. Side panels may depend from the sides of the cover and extend alongside the side walls of the battery casing. Each side panel has portions extending beyond the end edges of its respective casing side wall the end shields being supported by the extending portions of the side panels. Legs may extend underneath the battery casing from the lower edges of the side panels so as to secure the cover and end shields to the battery casing.
