Abstract
A storage battery () includes a container () containing an electrochemical stack () comprising alternating positive and negative electrodes flanking electrolyte-impregnated separators. A current output terminal () passes through a lid () of the container. A connector (), which electrically connects the electrodes of one polarity to the terminal () passing through the lid, includes a flat connection () welded to the electrodes and an elastic connection () which nests into the terminal () passing through the lid. Manufacture of a sealed storage battery is simplified by obviating a manual operation of inserting and bending an elongated connection tab inside the container.
