Abstract
A method of making lead-acid cell-to-cell or battery-to-battery connections is disclosed which utilizes a non-conductive capture mold, made, for example, from polypropylene polymers, which capture mold has a base having holes allowing the capture mold to be placed over adjacent terminal posts of like polarity and upstanding walls having a height equal to that of the terminal posts, the capture mold serving to retain the lead alloy connector in place while the cell or battery connection is made, as by induction heating or the like.
