Abstract

A grommet has a central opening and a peripheral groove defining spaced first and second peripheral lips, the opening aligned with the first peripheral lip is of increased width so that the lip may flex inwardly to allow insertion over a cell terminal post after assembly. The first peripheral lip has an inclined surface which cooperates with an inclined surface on the cell casing to facilitate insertion of the grommet. An electric cell including such a grommet is also disclosed.
