ABSTRACT:
A storage battery having a case closed-off by a block cover in which, for e purpose of separating-off acid, a hollow space is formed by means of a lower cover part and an upper cover part that is spaced from the lower cover part. In conformity with the number of cells, the hollow space is divided into interconnected chambers, each of which communicates at its deepest location with an associated cell via an opening which is in the form of a tubular member. In order to provide a storage battery having improved integrated acid separating-off capability in the block cover, the assembly of which can be undertaken either directly after production of the individual components or during assembly of the battery in the production line, with seal-testing of the connected parts being possible either individually or in combination with the block box of the battery, the tubular members each comprise two separate tubular pieces which are coaxially disposed, with one of the tubular pieces being provided on the lower cover part and extending away from the upper cover part and into the cell, and with the other of the tubular pieces being provided on the upper cover part and extending toward the lower cover part into the chamber. The tubular piece of the upper cover part has a greater diameter than does the tubular piece of the lower cover part, with the tubular piece of the upper cover part being spaced from the lower cover part in such a way that space is left between the tubular piece of the upper cover part and the tubular piece of the lower cover part for the passage of gas and acid.
