A method for manufacturing a starved electrolyte bipolar battery, comprising the steps of: - providing positive electrodes, separators, negative electrodes and biplates to construct a desired number of battery cells inside a case, arranged between a positive endplate and a negative endplate, - providing a positive access point to the positive endplate, and a negative access point to the negative endplate, - providing a gasket between each biplate and/or biplate and each endplate to create a common gas space within the battery, said gasket being made from a hydrophobic material to prevent the creation of an electrolyte path between adjacent cells when mounted in a battery, the gasket comprising a frame which is designed to at least partially encompass a biplate when mounted in the bipolar battery, and means to permit gas passage through the gasket, wherein said gasket is made from a material with deformable properties to provide a sealing to the biplate when mounted in the bipolar battery, whereby an outer pressure tight seal of the battery is obtained, - providing a passage to the common gas space from the outside of the battery, - compressing all gaskets arranged between the positive endplate and the negative endplate to provide an outer pressure tight seal for the battery and to prevent the formation of electrolyte paths between adjacent cells, and - filling the separators with electrolyte, wherein the step of filling of the separators with electrolyte comprises: - attaching an electrolyte reservoir to the passage to the common gas space, - evacuating air from the common gas space, - filling electrolyte into the common gas space, and - transferring electrolyte to each cell from the common gas space. - providing positive electrodes, separators, negative electrodes and biplates to construct a desired number of battery cells inside a case, arranged between a positive endplate and a negative endplate, - providing a positive access point to the positive endplate, and a negative access point to the negative endplate, - providing a gasket between each biplate and/or biplate and each endplate to create a common gas space within the battery, said gasket being made from a hydrophobic material to prevent the creation of an electrolyte path between adjacent cells when mounted in a battery, the gasket comprising a frame which is designed to at least partially encompass a biplate when mounted in the bipolar battery, and means to permit gas passage through the gasket, wherein said gasket is made from a material with deformable properties to provide a sealing to the biplate when mounted in the bipolar battery, whereby an outer pressure tight seal of the battery is obtained, - providing a passage to the common gas space from the outside of the battery, - compressing all gaskets arranged between the positive endplate and the negative endplate to provide an outer pressure tight seal for the battery and to prevent the formation of electrolyte paths between adjacent cells, and - filling the separators with electrolyte, wherein the step of filling of the separators with electrolyte comprises: - attaching an electrolyte reservoir to the passage to the common gas space, - evacuating air from the common gas space, - filling electrolyte into the common gas space, and - transferring electrolyte to each cell from the common gas space. - attaching an electrolyte reservoir to the passage to the common gas space, - evacuating air from the common gas space, - filling electrolyte into the common gas space, and - transferring electrolyte to each cell from the common gas space.
