ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a battery system in which a battery is provided with a pair of quick connect electrical contact mechanisms. A battery tray, for receiving the battery, is also provided with a pair of quick connect electrical contact mechanisms which are adapted to connect and establish electrical continuity with the battery quick connect mechanisms. The battery pin assemblies may be molded into the battery cover and may be welded to the existing positives and negative battery posts. In this manner, the provision of the pins requires no additional penetrations of the battery container, thus reducing the potential for leakage of electrolyte from the container. The pins may be nested within indentations provided in the container. In this manner, the provision of the pins adds only minimally to the overall dimensions of the battery, thus resulting in a compact design. In the case of a spirally wound cell battery, the pins may be nested within the indentation formed between two of the battery cells and may be located either on the ends or the sides of the battery. Alternatively, in a spirally wound cell battery, the pins may be located in openings formed between four cells in the interior of the battery.
