Assignee: GNB Industrial Battery Company (Lombard, IL)
Primary Examiner: Maples; John S.
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Leydig, Voit & Mayer
A sealed lead-acid battery assembly for motive power vehicles is provided for. The battery tray assembly comprises a battery tray having a tray base adapted to support one or more sealed lead-acid batteries. The battery tray has three upstanding tray walls, consisting of two side walls and a front wall, which are connected to the tray base, a tray top connected to the upstanding tray walls, and one or more divider walls. The tray base, side walls, front wall, tray top, and divider wall define one or more compartments adapted to receive batteries and a compartment adapted to receive a battery charger. The battery tray has a generally open back which provides access for loading batteries into the battery compartments and for loading a charger into the charger compartment. Otherwise, the battery and charger compartments are substantially enclosed by the battery tray. The battery tray assembly further comprises a battery charger mounted in the charger compartment, and two or more sealed lead-acid batteries supported in the battery compartments. The batteries are electrically connected together to provide positive and negative termination. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The subject invention provides for a sealed lead-acid battery tray assembly for motive power vehicles.
The battery tray assembly comprises a battery tray having a tray base adapted to support one or more sealed lead-acid batteries.
The battery tray has three upstanding tray walls, consisting of two side walls and a front wall, which are connected to the tray base, a tray top connected to the upstanding tray walls, and one or more divider walls.
The tray base, side walls, front wall, tray top, and divider wall define one or more compartments adapted to receive batteries and a compartment adapted to receive a battery charger.
The battery tray has a generally open back which provides access for loading batteries into the battery compartments and for loading a charger into the charger compartment.
Otherwise, the battery and charger compartments are substantially enclosed by the battery tray.
The battery tray assembly further comprises a battery charger mounted in the charger compartment, and two or more sealed lead-acid batteries supported in the battery compartments.
The batteries are electrically connected together to provide positive and negative termination.
Thus, the battery assemblies of the subject invention incorporate in a single unit batteries needed to power motive vehicles and a charger for maintaining the charge of those batteries.
The novel battery tray assemblies, as will become apparent from the discussion which follows, also are more easily and economically manufactured, assembled, and installed.
In particular, they may be fabricated and assembled by a battery manufacturer and installed as a unit by the vehicle OEM.
The novel battery tray assemblies, when installed on a vehicle, require minimal maintenance other than charging of the batteries.
The batteries are securely mounted therein in such a manner that, throughout their service life, they remain unexposed to accidental contact by the vehicle operators and are protected from damage caused by dislodgement of the batteries or other accidental impacts
