A multicell electric storage battery with a prismatic container (1) and cylindrical cells, which comprises throughpassing vertical conduits (15-16) opening through the lid and bottom and disposed among adjacent cells and intended for the circulation of air or another coolant and for the passage of threaded anchoring rods. (17). The cylindrical walls of the cells include a planar upper segment with an opening through which the electrical connection of adjacent cells is made. <IMAGE>
1. A multicell electric storage battery, which comprises a container of generally right prismatic shape, closed at the top by means of a lid through which the connecting terminals protrude, which container is subdivided internally into two or more cylindrical cells housing positive and negative electrodes segregated by intermediate separators, wound in a spiral shape, characterized in that the battery comprises vertical throughpassing conduits that open through the lid and bottom and are disposed among adjacent cells, such conduits are intended for the circulation of air or another coolant and for the passage of threaded rods for anchoring the battery to the mounting tray or soleplate; and in that the cylindrical walls of the cells comprise a planar upper segment common to adjacent cells, which includes an access opening through which the electrical connection is made between the different-polarity leads of said adjacent cells. 2. A battery according to Claim 1, characterized in that it comprises three connector terminals for each polarity, two of said terminals being disposed in the lid and one in one of the walls, the three terminals of each polarity being connected electrically by means of a metal bar integrated in the lid. 3. A battery according to Claim 1, characterized in that each cylindrical cell includes a central core of perforated tubular configuration, the diameter of which defines the positive and negative electrode capacity housed in the annular chamber delimited between said core and the wall of the cell. 4. A battery according to Claim 1, the lid of which carries handles hingedly corrected to its central part, which are able to swivel between an idle position in which they are folded down onto the lid in a coplanar position, and a working position in which they are roughly perpendicular to the lid, characterized in that said lid comprises channels in which the handles are housed in their idle position. 5. A battery according to claim 1, having the electrolyte absorbed in the separator, which is not completely saturated, characterized in that in comprises one valve per cell, which ensures the necessary pressure for the internal recombination of gases generated during charging periods.
