Abstract
An accumulator, particularly a lead accumulator, has a housing, which encloses multiple cells, and a block cover, which terminates the housing, including a bottom cover () and a top cover (), between which a gas chamber for acid separation is implemented, which is divided into multiple cavities (-), corresponding to the number of cells, and which has at least one vent opening, a fill opening (-) being provided for each cell in the bottom cover (). In order to improve an accumulator of this type, a gas outlet (-), which discharges into the associated cavity (-), is provided for each cell at a distance from the fill opening (-) in the bottom cover (), its size being dimensioned so that in the event of brief tipping of the accumulator, no more acid may escape from the cell than is received by the cavity (-) assigned thereto (FIG.).
