Abstract
A battery plate is used with a battery. The battery plate includes aplate body extending across the battery. A lug extends out from the plate body to be electrically connected to the battery. The lug defines a surface area and a width. The lug also includes a corrugated portion which increases the surface area of the lug as a function of the width of the lug.
Claims9
A battery plate for use in a battery, said battery plate comprising a plate body extending across the battery and a lug extending out from said plate body to be electrically connected to the battery, said lug defining a surface area and width and including a corrugated portion to increase said surface area as a function of said width.
A battery plate as set forth in claim I wherein said plate body defines a plane and said lug extends substantially through said plane.
A battery assembly comprising:
- a casing;
- a plurality of plates equidistantly spaced apart and extending across said casing to facilitate in the generation of an electric charge;
- a plurality of straps electrically connecting said plurality of plates to each other, each of said plurality of straps having a defined width;
- and
- a plurality of lugs fixedly secured to each of said plurality of plates and extending into said plurality of straps, each of said plurality of lugs including a corrugated portion to maximize a surface area contained with each of said plurality of straps.
