Abstract
A plate of a battery is positioned so that a strap connected to the plate is located on a side of the plate, and a pedestal of a resin-wrapped post is fit in a notch formed in the strap. A first protection plate is installed between a contact portion of the pedestal with the notch and a resin portion of the resin-wrapped post, and a second protection plate is installed between the contact portion and the plate. A flame of a burner is applied onto the contact portion from above the strap and the pedestal at a spot between the both protection plates so as to weld the pedestal to the strap without causing the resin portion to become molten or the post from becoming misshapen.
Claims1
A method for manufacturing a battery terminal, including a strap connecting one of a plurality of lugs of a plurality of plates and a resin-wrapped post having a post body and a pedestal integrated into an L-shape, the post body being wrapped with a resin in order to secure liquid-tightness, comprising the steps of:
- forming a notch in the strap, the notch running from an upper-face side to a side-face side opposite the plates connected to the strap when the plates are positioned such as to locate the strap on a side of the plates;
- fitting the pedestal of the resin-wrapped post in the notch in such a manner that the post body extends to an opposite side of one of the pates at a right angle to the strap;
- installing a first protection plate between a contact portion of the pedestal with the notch and the resin portion of the resin-wrapped post;
- installing a second protection plate between the contact portion and one of the plates;
- applying a flame of a burner on the contact portion from above the strap and the pedestal at a spot between the first protection plate and the second protection plate, thereby welding the pedestal to the strap without causing the resin portion to become molten or the post from becoming misshapen.
