Abstract: An improved vent cap system for use in an electrochemical battery is provided which includes a ring flange for forming a ring seal between the vent cap assembly and the fill tube. When the vent cap assembly is positioned in the battery housing, the ring flange and the fill tube deform to create a seal therebetween to provide a fluid tight seal.

Abstract: A composite battery container for housing one or more cell elements comprising positive and negative plates alternately interleaved with separator material includes a battery housing defining one or more cell compartments. The cell compartments have resilient, flexible spacer and plate-rest ribs integrally formed in the sides and bottom of the cell compartments, but having different material properties than the battery housing. The battery housing is made of a rigid, low cost plastic material, while the ribs are a flexible thermoplastic elastomer. The flexible ribs elastically deform when a cell element is disposed within the cell compartment and return to a substantially non-deformed, originally molded position when the cell element is removed. The ribs are formed in any suitable orientation and at any suitable acute or obtuse angle from the cell compartment walls.

Abstract translation: 用于容纳一个或多个电池元件的复合电池容器，其包括与隔板材料交替交错的正极板和负极板，其包括限定一个或多个电池室的电池壳体。 电池隔间具有一体地形成在电池隔间的侧面和底部的弹性，柔性间隔件和平板安排肋，但具有与电池外壳不同的材料特性。 电池壳体由刚性低成本的塑料材料制成，而肋是柔性热塑性弹性体。 当细胞元件设置在细胞室内时，柔性肋弹性变形，并且当细胞元件被移除时返回到基本上未变形的原始模制位置。 肋以任何合适的方向形成并且以与细胞隔室壁以任何合适的锐角或钝角形成。

Abstract: A thermoplastic blend of a polyalkylene terephthalate, polyolefin and a functionalized elastomer has improved impact strength while maintaining other needed properties including tensile strength, tensile elongation, and flexural modulus. Recycled polypropylene and PET plastics can be combined with a relative small amount of the functionalized elastomer to provide a blend useful for molding battery containers and other plastic structural members such as automotive components.
