Abstract

There is disclosed an apparatus for casting a lead formation, particularly on the lug of a battery component. The lead is streamed over a mould block (20) defining a mould cavity (21) to flood the cavity (21). The flow of lead is maintained to raise the temperature of the block (20), at least adjacent the cavity, to achieve an appropriate working temperature.
