Abstract
Apparatus for simultaneously fusing both positive and negative side terminal posts of a lead acid storage battery having a pair of tombstones of L-shape. Each of the terminal posts has an inwardly extending projection extending into a substantially U-shaped opening at the top of the vertical legs of the tombstones. A pair of spaced induction coils are connected in series. A mold surrounds each coil for confining fused metal to fill the substantially U-shaped opening in the top of the tombstones for providing an integral connection between the terminal posts and the vertical portions of the tombstones when the terminal posts and tombstones are lifted into the molds and the induction coils are energized.
