ABSTRACT:
A method of making a lead-acid battery includes providing continuous lengths of end separator stock (24) and intermediate separator stock (26) and stacks of positive (81,98) and negative plates (83,93) with optional use of end separators. The separators are individually severed from the continuous length of stock and sequentially formed into an assembly with the individual positive and negative plates. The assembly is introduced into a battery cell container (28). A plurality of assemblies may be established prior to introduction into the battery cell container (28). In a preferred embodiment, the assembly zone (38) moves linearly relative to the cutting stations for the respective continuous lengths of separator stock and the stacks of plates and facilitates sequential establishment of the assembly without intermediate storage of the individual separators and elements. Some or all of the separators may be supplied from stacks disposed in magazines. The magazines (84,84A,85,85A) may have more than one stack of plates of the same charge to facilitate supply by one while the other is replenished. The stacked plates (81,83,93,98) preferably have their lugs (81 a,83a,93a,98a) aligned.
The apparatus includes equipment (98) for supplying continuous lengths of end separator stock (24) and intermediate separator stock (26) and positive and negative plate stacks (81,83,93,98). The separators may be provided from stacks, if desired. A movable assembly zone (38) is adapted to receive the individual separators and plates from which the assembly may be introduced into a battery cell container (28).
