Abstract
A battery grid has a thickness which is greater at the top than at the bottom to achieve a uniform compressive force on a grid stack exerted by the side walls of a battery container. A plastic wedge is disposed between the side walls of the battery container and the stack of grids to improve the distribution of compressive forces.
