Abstract
A flexible rib plaque is provided for insertion between battery cell elements and the end and/or an interior wall of the battery container. The plaque improves performance by limiting the harmful effects caused by flexing of the container walls due to hydraulic pressure changes of the electrolyte contained within the battery. The ribs of the plaques may be located on one or both sides of the plaque. If ribs extend from only one side, they may contact the cell element or the container wall.
