An electric storage battery having a plurality of cell compartments separated from each other by wall means formed of thermoplastic plastics material, each cell compartment containing a plurality of plates electrically connected together, the plates of one cell compartment being electrically connected to the plates in an adjacent cell compartment by an intercell connecting rod which provides a direct connection between adjacent cells through the wall means, the rod having been embedded in position in the wall means by deformation of the wall means when the thermoplastic plastics material was softened by heat.

A method of forming an intercell connection in an electric storage battery having at least two cell compartments separated from each other by planar wall means formed of thermoplastic plastics material and each containing a plurality of plates, comprising the ordered steps of: (a) connecting the plates of two adjacent cell compartments to opposite ends of a metal intercell connecting rod in electrical connection therewith, (b) positioning the rod across the top of the wall means with the plates projecting into their respective cell compartments, said connection between the plates and connecting rod being made out of the plane of the wall means (c) applying heat to the region of the wall means adjacent the connecting rod to soften the thermoplastic material, (d) causing relative movement between the rod and the wall means in a direction towards the top of the wall means and into the plane thereof so that the rod displaces softened thermoplastic plastics material and becomes embedded in the wall means, (e) terminating the relative movement when the plates and interconnecting rod have reached a required position, and (f) permitting the thermoplastic plastics material to cool and set to hold the rod in position and form a seal against the rod.
