Storage battery having a plurality of containers with one cover

A storage battery comprising a plurality of monoblock containers put together with space provided between each pair of adjacent containers, one container cover to seal the openings of said monoblock containers, lead wires for detection of the voltage of series connected assembly elements in each monoblock container, a thermistor for detection of temperature in an assembly element at least in one monoblock container, a lead wire for said thermistor, and a connector having terminals for said lead wires for detection of the voltage and for said lead wire for said thermistor, each of said monoblock containers having a plurality of cell compartments separated from each other by partitions and each of said cell compartments housing an assembly element comprised of a plurality of positive electrode plates and negative electrode plates stacked with separators placed between the plates, said connector being mounted on the container cover, wherein the assembly element in each of said cell compartments is electrically connected in series with the assembly element in the next adjacent cell compartment in a row of adjacent cell compartments through an aperture provided in the partition between the two adjacent cell compartments.

A storage battery comprising a plurality of monoblock containers put together with space provided between each pair of adjacent containers and one container cover to seal the openings of said monoblock containers, each of said monoblock containers having a plurality of cell compartments separated from each other by partitions and each of said cell compartments housing an assembly element comprised of a plurality of positive electrode plates and negative electrode plates stacked with separators placed between the plates, wherein each monoblock container has one cell row including a plurality of cell compartments lined up in one direction and separated from each other by partitions, and said monoblock containers being so arranged that said cell rows are parallel with each other, and wherein each of said monoblock containers has projections at the lower right and left corners on the outside surface of the sides facing the ends of the cell rows, one of the projections of the monoblock container and the neighboring projection on the adjacent monoblock container being linked with a coupler with the two projections fit into the holes provided in said coupler, thereby uniting the neighboring monoblock containers together.

A storage battery comprising a plurality of monoblock containers put together with space provided between each pair of adjacent containers and one container cover to seal the openings of said monoblock containers, each of said monoblock containers having a plurality of cell compartments separated from each other by partitions and each of said cell compartments housing an assembly element comprised of a plurality of positive electrode plates and negative electrode plates stacked with separators placed between the plates, wherein said container cover has one sealed chamber provided with openings communicating with the respective cell compartments, safety valves closing said openings in said sealed chamber, and an air passage having an explosion-proof mechanism through which said sealed chamber communicates with the outside.
