THE ¼ TURN BAYONET VENT CAP, AN OLD STANDBY IN THE BATTERY
INDUSTRY...
Obsolescence is a thing of the past relative to the Industrial Motive Power
Traction Battery industry….that is, with the exception of the quarter-turn
bayonet vent cap which has been in use and unchanged for over half a
century.
Hand wrapped and vulcanized hard rubber jars gave way to the rotationally
molded polyethylene jars which lacked dimensional stability – these in turn were
replaced by the injection molded polypropylene jar. The compression molded hard
rubber covers, both industrial and SLI, are a thing of the past having been
replaced by the high density polypropylene injection molded cover. Insertable
element supports (Bridge-rests) are now replaced by the self-leveling concept
molded as an option and integral part of the industrial battery jar. Separators,
grid alloys, lead oxides, expanders and tray designs as well as battery
containers have all seen improvements over the years……but not the industry
standard quarter turn bayonet vent cap relative to O.E.M. production.
The original ¼ turn vent caps were injection molded by Stokes Molded Products
in Paterson, New Jersey. At the time, the design was proprietary to Exide which
had split their operations into two separate divisions – automotive and
industrial. Then in July , 1930 Exide purchased Gould Storage Battery
Corporation expanding it’s line into high-capacity industrial motive power
traction batteries. In September 2000 Exide acquired GNB. This acquisition
allowed Exide to reenter the North American industrial battery market.
Today, Exide Technologies is one of the world’s leading manufacturer of
industrial motive power traction batteries and still use the original designed ¼
turn bayonet vent cap as does the Golf Cart, Floor Scrubber and Industrial
Battery manufacturers.
