8. A process for producing an electrochemical cell including a terminal post and a plurality of electrode plates including positive plates and negative plates, comprising the steps of:
-
providing the positive plates and the negative plates with wire current conductors; alternatingly stacking the positive plates and the negative plates so that the current conductors of plates of same polarity lie on the same side of the stack of plates, while inserting separators between the plates during the stacking; bunching the current conductors of the plates of same polarity together; inserting the bunched current conductors into a collar of the terminal post; and crimping the collar over the inserted current conductors, electrically connecting the current conductors and the terminal post. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
