DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention Regarding the sealed lead-acid battery having the above-configured electrode plate group, since the negative electrode plate or both the negative electrode plate and the positive electrode plate are covered with a separator holding abundant electrolyte solution, While the active material utilization rate improves, the oxygen gas generated on the positive electrode plate during charging is difficult to diffuse and be absorbed by the negative electrode plate, so when overcharging with a high rate current, hydrogen gas is generated from the negative electrode plate. This is released from the safety valve to the outside of the battery system together with the oxygen gas generated from the positive electrode plate. As a result, the water content in the electrolytic solution is reduced, and as a result, the storage battery capacity is reduced.

Another issue is to reduce the thickness of the single cell.
Since the sub-separator is very thin and it is made of a separator material that does not have a binder with good electrolyte retention capacity, the strength of the sub-separator itself is weak and the sub-separator is easily damaged in the electrode plate assembly process I had to rely on the company, which was an obstacle to the automation of the process.

Effect According to the present invention, compared with the main separator, not holding the electrolytic solution, using a sub-separator with a high porosity, while suppressing the decrease in the initial capacity compared to the sealed lead-acid battery of the conventional configuration Oxygen gas generated from the positive electrode plate during charging is efficiently supplied to the negative electrode plate through the pores in the sub-separator and immediately absorbed, so that the decrease in water content during electrolysis at the time of high-rate overcharging is reduced and the capacity is reduced. In addition to suppressing deterioration, the sub-separator uses acrylic resin as a binder, so the strength of the sub-separator itself is also improved, making it possible to automate the electrode plate assembly process that has traditionally relied on manual work, thus improving productivity. improves.

1.75V) followed by 0.85A constant current for 70 minutes for charging (this is 130% of the initial capacity) overcharge cycle test for 20 cycles, capacity change and battery weight change before and after the test I asked. The results are shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. According to FIG. 2, the used sub separator is C,
As for D, E, and F, capacity deterioration during the overcharge cycle test is suppressed as compared with the conventional example (A). However, the initial capacities of E and F as sub-separators are lower than those of the conventional example. In the weight reduction before and after the overcharge cycle shown in FIG.
It is suppressed at a low amount. From these results, when a sub-sparator with a smaller electrolyte holding capacity per unit weight when a constant pressure is applied is used as compared to that of the main separator, charging is performed through the holes in the sub-separator that are present in large numbers with respect to the main separator. Sometimes oxygen gas generated on the positive electrode plate is efficiently diffused to the negative electrode plate and is absorbed on the negative electrode plate, so that the decrease of water content in the electrolytic solution at the time of overcharge is suppressed and the overcharge cycle characteristic is improved. .

However, if the electrolyte holding capacity of the sub-separator is lowered too much, the active material utilization rate of the part of the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate facing the sub-separator will decrease, resulting in a decrease in the initial capacity. The electrolyte holding capacity per unit weight when a constant pressure is applied is 95 to 60% of that of the main separator.

Furthermore, by adopting the one using acrylic resin as the binder as the sub separator, the strength of the sub separator itself is increased, resulting in a decrease in the sub separator separator failure in the electrode plate assembly process, which is difficult because a large number of conventional failures occur. It was possible to realize the automation of equipment, which was the same as before, and productivity was also improved.

Effects of the Invention As described above, as the sub separator,
Use a glass mat separator with an acrylic resin as a binder by setting the electrolyte retention capacity per unit when a constant pressure is applied to the electrolyte with a lower electrolyte retention capacity than the main separator to 95-60% of that of the main separator. Oxygen gas generated from the positive electrode plate during charging through the pores in the sub-separator efficiently diffuses on the negative electrode plate and is absorbed on the negative electrode plate. While suppressing the capacity deterioration due to the decrease of water content, without causing a decrease in the initial capacity compared to the conventional example, as a result of using an acrylic resin as a binder, the strength of the sub-separator itself is also improved. It becomes possible to automate the electrode plate assembly process, which relies solely on this, and the industrial value of the present invention is great.
