An electrical battery for multi-cellular interconnection in series, parallel
or
series and parallel has a protrusion and a recess, such as a tongue and a groove,
extending on outer surfaces of the sidewalls of the battery case such that when
a protrusion of one battery is slid into a recess of another, the two batteries
are electrically connected by the portions of the protrusion and the recess that
are made of electrically conductive materials connected to the voltage producing
elements inside the case. The battery further includes hollow plug-in posts and
plug-in pins at the top and the bottom of the case that are connected to the voltage
producing elements of the battery so that when the plug-in pins of one battery
are inserted into the plug-in posts of another, the two batteries are in electrical
interconnection. The battery also includes an electrolyte recirculation, gas purging,
and automatic watering systems.
