10. Making of a Car Battery
 STEP 1: Grid Creation
 Molten lead + additives are poured into an empty cavity (mold)
that is shaped like the grid. The lead cools down and
solidifies to form the grid.

12.  STEP 2: Oxide Pasting
 The paste is usually made up of powdered Red Lead or Litharge, or
a mixture of the two. Diluted sulphuric acid and other additives are
put in to it to create the paste.

14.  STEP 3: Enveloping
 The pasted plates are now ready to be stacked in an alternating
manner (positive, negative, positive, negative) to start to form
the structure of the cell. However, each plate is covered with an
envelope or separator, rather than being left bare.

15.  STEP 4: Boxing
 The tubs which hold the cells are made out of a tough plastic
compound. Each tub has 6 individual compartments for each 2V
cell group. The cells are placed in these tubs manually.

16.  STEP 5: Lid Sealing
 The plastic lid is manually placed on top of the tub, before a
machine automatically heat-seals the whole shell together.

17.  STEP 6: Filling
 The batteries are then transported to another section of the
factory where they are filled with acid

18.  STEP 7: Charging
 The batteries are charged from 14-40 hours in charging tanks.
To keep temperatures in check, the machines are filled with
water, and the sensors ensure that power is cut off when the
units become too hot.

19.  STEP 8: Packing & Dispatch
 A final check for leaks and short circuits is conducted, All
batteries are stored in batches and dispatched using the FIFO
method, to ensure the stock is always fresh.
