ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus is provided for treating plate panels or plates for electric storage batteries, the apparatus providing special movable racks for transporting a plurality of plate panels through the entire process of formation, preserving, washing, treating and drying. The racks provide spaced vertical slots for accommodating the battery plates in such manner that the weight of the plates rests on a pair of spaced contact bars extending longitudinally along the bottom of the rack in position to support the battery plates and provide electric contact during the charging operation. The contact bars are formed either with inerted V-shaped ridges or inclined surfaces to permit the weight of the plates to make a firm connection between the plate lugs and the contact bars. In one form of the invention, the contact bars are mounted in the formation tank, while in another form of the invention the contact bars are incorporated into the rack. The formation tank is formed with barriers of non-conductive, acid-resistant material for blocking any current leakage path between the contact bars and preventing shorting.
