(DE4418405-A1)      The method involves assembling the monopolar end frames and bipolar fames with a separator between them, to form a unit (10), providing electrolyte fill/vent holes in the top and bottom surfaces in communication with a separator, and sealing the side surfaces with a panel (12).    To the top surface an electrolyte fill/vent box (14) is sealed with the box comprising a base (86) divided into compartments corresponding to the separators and having holes (84) in alignment with the holes in the top surface of the unit, and holes (80) in a front panel (82) communicating with each compartment. A cover (16) is sealed onto the top of the box and electrolyte is introduced into the front panel holes. A vacuum box (18) may be sealed to the bottom surface of the unit to facilitate electrolyte filling.    USE/ADVANTAGE -   For mfg. batteries used for controlling starting, lighting and ignition in vehicles and golf carts. Enables automated, reliable assembly, providing satisfactory leak-free hermetic seals in lead-acid batteries. Accommodates widely varying voltage and capacity specifications necessary for specific service applications.

(US5429643-A)      The method of making a bipolar lead-acid battery comprises    providing a pair of end frames, a number of intermediate frames, and a number of separators. The end frames, intermediate frames, and separators are assembled so that the peripheral boarders of adjacent end and intermediate frames abut to form an electrochemical component unit. Each electrochemical cell has an opening in the top and bottom surfaces of the unit. One of the cell openings is an electrolyte fill/vent hole, and the other is a vacuum hole. The side surfaces of the electrochemical component unit are sealed with a panel.    Top and bottom boxes are provided. The top box has a base defining compartments, each having a hole in it. The holes are aligned with the cell openings in the top surface of the electrochemical component unit. A front panel has an aperture communicating with each top box base compartment. Each cell is filled with electrolyte by introducing electrolyte into the top or bottom box front panel aperture connected with the fill/vent hole of the cell while applying a vacuum to the front panel aperture Covers are sealed over the front panels of the top and bottom boxes.    ADVANTAGE -   Maintains electrochemical components under the desired compression, and seals them as unit.
