摘要：A method of making a lead-acid battery includes providing continuous lengthsof end separator stock (24) and intermediate separator stock (26) and stacks of positive(81,98) and negative plates (83,93) with optional use of end separators. The separatorsare individually severed from the continuous length of stock and sequentially formedinto an assembly with the individual positive and negative plates. The assembly is
introduced into a battery cell container (28). A plurality of assemblies may be establishedprior to introduction into the battery cell container (28). In a preferred embodiment, theassembly zone (38) moves linearly relative to the cutting stations for the respectivecontinuous lengths of separator stock and the stacks of plates and facilitates sequentialestablishment of the assembly without intermediate storage of the individual separatorsand elements. Some or all of the separators may be supplied from stacks disposed inmagazines. The magazines (84,84A,85, 85A) may have more than one stack of plates ofthe same charge to facilitate supply by one while the other is replenished. The stackedplates (81,83, 93,98) preferably have their lugs (81 a,83a,93a,98a) aligned.
< P>The apparatus includes equipment (98) for supplying continuous lengths of endseparator stock (24) and intermediate separator stock (26) and positive and negative
plate stacks (81,83,93,98). The separators may be provided from stacks, if desired. Amovable assembly zone (38) is adapted to receive the individual separators and platesfrom which the assembly may be introduced into a battery cell container (28).
