The invention relates to a production method and apparatus for a storage battery. According to an efficient formation production method for the storage battery, acid inlet from the bottom part and acid outlet from the upper part are performed on the storage battery; then formation and production are completed through cyclic utilization; the apparatus corresponding to the method comprises acid-outlet interface units arranged above the storage battery and acid-inlet interface units arranged below the storage battery; each acid-outlet interface unit is connected with an acid-return pipe; each acid-inlet interface unit is connected with an acid-inlet pipe separately; each acid-inlet pipe is provided with an acid pump; and the acid-inlet pipe is connected with a low-density acid cyclic system and a high-density acid cyclic system separately through valve control. The invention provides a valve-control sealing battery and a gel battery capable of being adapted to adsorption type acid-fixing isolation plate design, and the formation production method and apparatus for the storage battery with good formation effect, short formation time and good product quality; and the technical problems of long formation time, low efficiency, high formation temperature, and difficulty in controlling product quality in the storage battery formation apparatus in the prior art are solved.
