For an optimal connection between the battery bushing and the polypropylene of the battery lid we developed the advanced undercut labyrinth. This unique feature prevents acid migration through the labyrinth and helps to make the battery leakageproof. In order to provide a shiny appearance and an improved surface finish, our battery terminals are surface treated over the entire cone area.
