On the other hand, as a method of manufacturing a lattice, in addition to a conventional casting method, a part of a continuous sheet of lead or a lead alloy is expanded and expanded in a mesh shape, filled with an active material, and a non-deployed part is formed as a current collector. Expanding method has been put to practical use. This method has a high productivity and can increase the capacity because the ratio of the grid to the electrode plate is small and the ratio of the active material can be increased. Have been done. As shown in FIG. 1, the electrode plate which has been practically used has a width (Pw) of 40 to 150 mm and a height (H) of 70.
With a size of about 140 mm, there was no fatal defect as an electrode plate of a lead-acid battery in which a large amount of free electrolyte exists, such as for an automobile. However, since the sealed lead-acid battery does not have a free electrolyte solution, the heat capacity of the electrode group is small, and the grid is melted by charging and discharging at a high rate,
In the worst case it can even explode. As one method for preventing this, as described in JP-A-64-19674, the theoretical capacity of the active material per unit cross-sectional area of the grid ear is set to 2.5 Ah / mm 2 or less. Is valid. However, this is not sufficient, and if the battery is short-circuited by mistake, the strands forming the mesh part, particularly the strands immediately below the current collecting member, may be melted. In addition, when the capacity is large as in the sealed lead-acid battery of the present invention, the electrode plate width is about 150 mm, which is not much different from the conventional one, but the height is 250 to 500 mm. Therefore, an extremely large current flows through the strand immediately below the undeployed current collector at the upper part, which poses a problem in safety.

Furthermore, the resistance between the lower part of the electrode plate and the current collector is extremely high when the strand is as fine as before, which not only lowers the discharge characteristics, especially the high-rate discharge characteristics, but also significantly lowers the charging efficiency of the lower part of the electrode plate. In addition, there is a disadvantage that the negative electrode sulfation is caused and the life of the battery is shortened.

In addition, since the sealed lead-acid battery does not have a free flowing electrolyte, the electrode lugs are exposed to the gas, so special consideration must be given to the cross-sectional area of the lugs so that they do not melt. As described above, the fact that the sheet thickness is small when using the expanded electrode plate is particularly important because the sheet thickness is small. Regarding the current collecting ear, the technique disclosed in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 64-19674 may be used. However, even if such consideration is given to the current collecting ear part, the strands constituting the mesh part, especially the current collecting ear, It became clear that there was a danger of fusing and explosion if there was no consideration for the cross-sectional area of the strand just below the electrical part. This part is not exposed in the battery space like the current collecting ear part, and its surrounding area is surrounded by the active material, the separator and the electrolyte present in the hole, so that the required cross-sectional area is smaller than that of the ear part. It is clear that the value may be small, but the value is very limited when the electrode plate is large and vertically long like the sealed lead storage battery of the present invention.

In addition, especially when it is set to 6 g / mm 2 or less, the resistance of the strand As a result, the charging current flows well to the lower part of the electrode plate, so that the battery does not have a short life due to sulfation of the negative electrode plate, and the battery has a long life.
