Abstract

A battery conductive plate includes at least two welding point zones and at least one connecting zone for electrically connecting the welding point zones to one another. The battery conductive plate is characterized in at least one narrow opening that divides the battery conductive plate into a plurality of separated and electrically non-contact conductive plate parts, so that the battery conductive plate may be more firmly welded to the battery terminals using a stick welding machine.

Claims

1. A battery conductive plate for welding to battery terminals, comprising:

at least two welding point zones;

at least one connecting zone for electrically connecting the welding point zones to one another; and

at least one narrow opening to divide the battery conductive plate into a plurality of electrically non-contact conductive plate parts.

2. The battery conductive plate as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a terminal extended from and electrically connected to any one of the plurality of conductive plate parts.

3. The battery conductive plate as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a locating element made of an electrically nonconductive material positioned between any two adjacent conductive plate parts.

4. The battery conductive plate as claimed in claim 1, wherein a material for forming the battery conductive plate is selected from the group consisting of copper, nickel, iron, gold, and silver.

5. The battery conductive plate as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the welding point zones has a protrusion located on surface where the welding point zone makes contact with the battery terminal.

6. The battery conductive plate as claimed in claim 1, wherein the narrow opening is in the form of a long and straight linear line.

7. The battery conductive plate as claimed in claim 1, wherein the narrow opening is in the form of a long zigzag line.
