Title: Battery of storage cells

Abstract: The invention relates to semi-open battery of storage cells each likely to evolve a large volume of hydrogen, more particularly during overcharge. A battery according to the invention comprises an intermediate or dummy lid so located with respect to the regular lid of the battery to enable the inflammable gas flow generated in the cells to be isolated from the flow of fluid or gas serving for cooling of the electrical connections of the storage cells and thus avoiding or eliminating all danger of explosion.
