Battery Box History
In the past, the term “battery box” was used to refer to a battery case, the outer shell of the battery that contains the lead plates and battery acid. In the last few years, much progress has been made in the manufacturing process. As time went by, improvements were made to reduce the expense of molding these containers. The high cost was due to the large number of rejects due to a non-uniform wall thickness. The lack of precision that existed in the tooling was required, because the tooling press was heated to vulcanize the rubber. In order for the sliding parts to work in a high-heat setting, it was vital to design them with a fixed gap between them. This obviously caused many battery boxes to be defective and therefore had to be discarded.
In 1949, C. L. Gougler improved this process with his new press for molding battery boxes. Over time, many other improvements have been made, resulting in the production of battery boxes with almost zero defects. The term “battery box” no longer refers to the outer part of the battery itself. What used to be called a battery box is now called a battery jar. Instead, that term now refers to a different item that houses the entire battery.
