Aircraft battery

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The foregoing and other objects of the invention are accomplished by a lead-acid aircraft battery having a unique arrangement for making electrical connections to the battery.
Conductors lead from the lead plates within the battery to the upper surface of the casing where they terminate in L-shaped members having cylindrical apertures extending horizontally therethrough.
Slide-on external terminals are bolted to the L-shaped members and project through a receptacle assembly and the sidewall of the battery housing.
The exterior terminals have axially aligned surfaces which are adapted to receive a tightening tool and which bear against the exterior of the receptacle assembly.
This arrangement allows the exterior terminals to be connected to the battery by power equipment after the casing and housing have been assembled thereby saving substantial time in battery assembly.
Other objects, features, and advantages of the invention will become apparent from a reading of the specification taken in conjunction with the drawings in which like reference numerals refer to like elements in the several views.
