NOVELTY - The battery has a container (300) having two end walls (310), and formed with filler vent holes (340) for access to middle cells (322) and end cells (328). The plate elements are formed by connecting together positive plates and negative plates, in which each positive plate has tab on one vertical side, while each negative plate has tab on opposite vertical side. A cover (330) is separated from the container, and seals the open side of the container and compresses the plate elements inside the container.    USE - Battery e.g. VRLA battery, AGM type battery for telecommunication systems. Can also be used in trucks, marine vessels, military vehicles, and any other system which requires an uninterruptible power supply.    ADVANTAGE - Minimizes battery footprint since the plate elements have edge to edge arrangement instead of face to face, making the battery tall and thin. Provides maximum performance and life by ensuring that plate elements are touching each other since the separate cover, when sealed to container, acts as compressor. Reduces the possibility of fluid leak around the mating area between collar and end wall by using less heat when fusing the components together, thus minimizes the chance of distorting the plastic collar partially surrounding the leas terminal of the post. Reduces the costs for parts and manufacturing since the same pre-cast post and same transitional strap can be used on container of various widths. Reduces the internal resistance and improves the operating efficiency by using the entire width of each plate as an axis path for the current. Maximizes the cooling effect since the face of each plate element experiences the ambient air temperature radiated through the cover or sealed over the open side of the containers.
