Abstract:
A method of producing a connecting plate for a battery holder including a plurality of bus bars each for connecting a plurality of batteries, a molded resin plate in which said plurality of bus bars are integrally molded at intervals corresponding to an arrangement of the plurality of batteries installed in said battery holder, and voltage detection terminal incorporated in said molded resin plate for detecting voltage of a desired one of said batteries in such a condition as to be connected to the bus bars, said method comprising the steps of:a) preparing terminal-equipped electric wires by connecting the voltage detection terminal to one end of each of a plurality of electric wires;b) arranging the voltage detection terminals of the plurality of terminal-equipped electric wires in conformity with the arranging positions of the bus bars to be superposed and connected, wiring a group of electric wires connected to the respective voltage detection terminals so as to be drawn from one side edge of the molded resin plate, and binding the electric wires to form a plate harness;c) preparing a primary molded piece by setting the plate harness thus formed to a primary mold and integrally res in-molding the plate harness excluding the superposed contact portion of the voltage detection terminal; andd) preparing a secondary molded piece by setting the primary molded piece to a second mold, superposing the superposed contact portion of the voltage detection terminal properly on the battery-electrode connecting hole of the bus bars, and integrally resin-molding the superposed combination.
