Department

Operation

Assembly

After the groups of plates are placed in the battery case, the battery lid is sealed onto the case, lead terminals/posts formed, and the sealed battery is tested for leaks and faults.

Cast on Strap

The lugs on the positive and negative lead-pasted plates are connected by pouring molten lead around the lugs. These groups are then placed in the battery cases by automated equipment.

Enveloping

Positive and negative lead-pasted plates are cut (if necessary), wrapped, and grouped in alternating positive and negative stacks with insulators placed in between. This may be completed manually or by automatic stacking and wrapping equipment.

Formation

Lead-pasted plates are placed in tanks filled with dilute sulfuric acid. The plates are connected in series to create a circuit for activation of the pasted plates.

Grid Casting

Lead alloy ingots are melted and poured into molds to cast solid lead grids.

Janitorial

The floors, bathrooms, waste, etc. are cleaned and maintained in the battery-making plant area.

Pasting

Lead oxide is conveyed into paste mixers to create a lead paste, which is pressed onto the solid lead grids. The pasted plates are then stacked and cured in an oven.

Plate Preparation

Lead-pasted plates are cut and brushed to prepare for the stacking and wrapping process.

Quality Assurance

The components of the battery are inspected for quality throughout the battery-making process.
