(EP986830-A1)      A modular electric storage battery (10) contains a housing (11) with battery cells (14) and a top member bonded, heat sealed or connected by any other means to the housing,. preferably made of a thermoplastic material such as polypropylene. The cells are preferably thin metal lead-acid batteries and have positive and negative terminals at opposing ends, which are connected in series through straps (20). The cells are further connected to positive and negative terminals (22,24), to form a 12 volt 1.2 amp/hour capacity battery.    The terminals are of the quick connect type and aligning features area provided, to ensure proper interconnection of the battery terminals. The modular battery can be configured as a flashlight or other device or can provide a jump starting capability, while the base unit can be adapted to receive several sizes of modular battery.    USE -   Supply of electric power for variety of applications    ADVANTAGE -   Easy removal and replacement of discharged batteries    (CN1259229-A)      A modular electric storage battery (10) contains a housing (11) with battery cells (14) and a top member bonded, heat sealed or connected by any other means to the housing,. preferably made of a thermoplastic material such as polypropylene.
