Description

本発明は、液式鉛蓄電池に関する。 The present invention relates to a liquid lead-acid battery.

近年の環境問題の深刻化に伴い、自動車等の排出ガス規制は世界的に厳しくなっている。この規制に対応するため、自動車メーカーは様々な環境技術を開発してきた。その環境技術としては、停車時に一時的にエンジンを停止させるアイドリングストップシステム(Idling Stop System、以下、「ISS」と表記する。)が知られている。ISSを搭載した内燃自動車(以下、「ISS車」と表記する。)は、信号待ち等で停車した際のアイドリングによる燃料の消費を抑制できるため、燃費が向上し更に排出ガス量も低減できる。 With the seriousness of environmental problems in recent years, emission regulations for automobiles and the like have become stricter worldwide. To comply with this regulation, automobile manufacturers have developed various environmental technologies. As the environmental technology, an idling stop system (Idling Stop System, hereinafter referred to as "ISS") that temporarily stops the engine when the vehicle is stopped is known. An internal combustion vehicle equipped with an ISS (hereinafter referred to as an "ISS vehicle") can suppress fuel consumption due to idling when the vehicle is stopped at a traffic light or the like, so that fuel efficiency can be improved and the amount of exhaust gas can be reduced.

ISS車用の鉛蓄電池は、エンジンが頻繁に停止と始動を繰り返すため、完全な充電状態ではない部分充電状態(Partial State of Charge、「PSOC」とも称される。)で充電と放電とが繰り返される。ISS車の鉛蓄電池は、充電率が90%より高いと、充電受入性が低くなって回生エネルギーの利用効率が低下するため、充電率が80%~90%の部分充電状態で使用されることが望ましいとされている。 Lead-acid batteries for ISS vehicles are repeatedly charged and discharged in a partially charged state (Partial State of Charge, also referred to as "PSOC"), which is not a fully charged state because the engine frequently stops and starts. Is done. Lead-acid batteries for ISS vehicles should be used in a partially charged state with a charge rate of 80% to 90% because if the charge rate is higher than 90%, the charge acceptability will be low and the utilization efficiency of regenerative energy will decrease. Is desirable.

液式鉛蓄電池の劣化要因の一つである電解液の成層化は、電槽内の上部と下部とで電解液の濃度差が生じる現象であり、80%~90%の部分充電状態を維持する様に制御して鉛蓄電池を使用する際に発生し易い。電解液の濃度が小さい上部では、負極板表面に金属鉛の樹枝状結晶(デンドライト)が析出・成長して、内部短絡が生じやすくなる。一方、電解液の濃度が大きい下部では、高濃度の電解液により、負極板表面で不導体の硫酸鉛が肥大化するサルフェーションが生じやすくなる。 Stratification of the electrolytic solution, which is one of the deterioration factors of the liquid lead-acid battery, is a phenomenon in which the concentration difference of the electrolytic solution occurs between the upper part and the lower part in the battery case, and the partially charged state of 80% to 90% is maintained. It tends to occur when using a lead-acid battery by controlling it so as to do so. In the upper part where the concentration of the electrolytic solution is low, dendritic crystals (dendrites) of metallic lead are deposited and grown on the surface of the negative electrode plate, and an internal short circuit is likely to occur. On the other hand, in the lower part where the concentration of the electrolytic solution is high, the high concentration electrolytic solution tends to cause sulfation in which the non-conductor lead sulfate is enlarged on the surface of the negative electrode plate.

サルフェーションが生じると、負極活物質からの硫酸の放出が抑制されるため、負極板下部の充電受け入れ性が低下する。負極板下部の充電受け入れ性が低下すると、主に負極板上部で充放電反応が進行する様になるため、負極板上部と対向する正極板上部の正極活物質の軟化や、集電体である鉛合金からなる基板の腐食が進行し、鉛蓄電池が早期に寿命を迎えることになる。 When sulfation occurs, the release of sulfuric acid from the negative electrode active material is suppressed, so that the charge acceptability of the lower part of the negative electrode plate is lowered. When the charge acceptability of the lower part of the negative electrode plate is lowered, the charge / discharge reaction mainly proceeds in the upper part of the negative electrode plate. Corrosion of the substrate made of lead alloy progresses, and the lead-acid battery reaches the end of its life at an early stage.

電解液の成層化を抑制する技術に関しては、例えば特許文献1に記載された技術が挙げられる。
特許文献1には、充電時に発生する気体による電解液の攪拌作用をより有効に利用して、成層化を抑制するために、極板群を収容する収容空間とは別に、収容空間の上部及び下部に連通する連通流路を設けることが記載されている。これにより、充電時に、極板群により発生する気体の上昇に伴う電解液の上方向への流れが収容空間内で発生し、これに対応する下方向への流れが連通流路内で発生するため、電槽内で電解液の対流が効果的に発生することで、電解液の攪拌作用を高めて成層化を抑制することができると記載されている。
As a technique for suppressing the stratification of the electrolytic solution, for example, the technique described in Patent Document 1 can be mentioned.
In Patent Document 1, in order to more effectively utilize the stirring action of the electrolytic solution by the gas generated during charging and suppress stratification, the upper part of the accommodation space and the accommodation space for accommodating the electrode plates are separately described. It is described that a communication flow path that communicates with the lower part is provided. As a result, during charging, an upward flow of the electrolytic solution due to the rise of the gas generated by the electrode plates is generated in the accommodation space, and a corresponding downward flow is generated in the communication flow path. Therefore, it is described that the effective convection of the electrolytic solution in the electric tank enhances the stirring action of the electrolytic solution and suppresses stratification.

一方、液式鉛蓄電池は、正極集電体に正極合剤が保持された正極板と、負極集電体に負極合剤が保持された負極板を備えている。正極集電体および負極集電体は、例えば特許文献2の図1に示すように、長方形の格子状基板と格子状基板に連続する耳とを有する。格子状基板は、格子状基板を成す長方形の一辺に沿う上部骨と、上部骨に接続されて上部骨より下方に存在する複数本の中骨と、を有する。耳は、上部骨の一辺の中心から一方にずれた位置から上側に突出している。
しかし、特許文献1および2には、充放電時の極板の電位分布と電解液の攪拌作用との関係についての記載はない。
On the other hand, the liquid lead-acid battery includes a positive electrode plate in which a positive electrode mixture is held in a positive electrode current collector and a negative electrode plate in which a negative electrode mixture is held in a negative electrode current collector. The positive electrode current collector and the negative electrode current collector have a rectangular grid-like substrate and continuous ears on the grid-like substrate, as shown in FIG. 1 of Patent Document 2, for example. The grid-like substrate has an upper bone along one side of a rectangle forming the grid-like substrate, and a plurality of middle bones connected to the upper bone and located below the upper bone. The ear protrudes upward from a position offset from the center of one side of the upper bone to one side.
However, Patent Documents 1 and 2 do not describe the relationship between the potential distribution of the electrode plate during charging and discharging and the stirring action of the electrolytic solution.

[Positive current collector of the second embodiment]
As shown in FIG. 3, the positive electrode current collector 1A of the second embodiment has a rectangular grid-like substrate 11A and an ear 12 continuous to the grid-like substrate 11A, and the positive electrode mixture is held by the grid-like substrate 11A. Has been done. The grid-like substrate 11A has an upper bone 111 along one side of a rectangle forming the grid-like substrate 11A, and a plurality of middle bones connected to the upper bone 111 and located below the upper bone 111. The thickness of the middle bone changes at the intermediate position in the vertical direction, and the middle bone 112a above the intermediate position (on the upper bone 111 side) is thinner than the thickness of the middle bone 112b below the intermediate position.
The ear 12 projects upward from a position shifted to one side (right side in FIG. 3) from the center of one side of the upper bone 111.

正極集電体1Aを、格子状基板11Aを成す長方形の右側(一方の側)の角を通る対角線Tに沿って切断して生じる分割体のうち、耳が存在する分割体を、図4に示す。この分割体2Aは、耳12の上部骨111との境界線L上の中心点Pを通り上部骨111に垂直な基準線Kにより、第一の部分21Aと第二の部分22Aに区分され、第一の部分21Aは第二の部分22Aよりも面積が大きい。 FIG. 4 shows the divided bodies having ears among the divided bodies generated by cutting the positive electrode current collector 1A along the diagonal line T passing through the right (one side) corner of the rectangle forming the grid substrate 11A. show. The divided body 2A is divided into a first portion 21A and a second portion 22A by a reference line K passing through the center point P on the boundary line L with the upper bone 111 of the ear 12 and perpendicular to the upper bone 111. The first portion 21A has a larger area than the second portion 22A.

第一の部分21Aは、13本の中骨の切断面を有する。切断面C1~C5は中骨112aの切断面であり、切断面C6~C13は中骨112bの切断面である。x軸およびy軸が共に線形目盛である座標平面に、13本の各切断面C1~C13と中心点Pとの間の各抵抗値R1~R13をy座標、各切断面C1~C13の中心点と中心点Pとの各距離X1~X13をx座標としてプロットすると、全てのプロットが、x=Hを交点として傾きが異なる二本の直線に近似できる。x<Hとなる各距離Xnでの各抵抗値Rnの平均値Aと、x≧Hとなる各距離Xnでの各抵抗値Rnの平均値Bと、による比A/Bが、0.35以上0.55以下になっている。 The first portion 21A has 13 cut surfaces of the middle bone.

The positive electrode current collector 1A can be obtained by a usual method such as a punching method, an expanding method, and a gravity casting method.

[作用、効果]
液式鉛蓄電池が有する正極集電体の比A/Bが小さいほど、充電時に正極板の下部が上部よりも分極しやすくなるため、下部からのガス発生が促進されることで、部分充電状態であっても電解液の攪拌作用が得られる。しかし、比A/Bが0.35未満の場合、正極集電体の下部から耳に至る経路の抵抗値が上部から耳に至る経路の抵抗値よりも著しく大きいため、正極板の下部での充放電反応が進行しにくくなる。よって、下部から発生するガスの量が、部分充電状態での電解液攪拌作用を得るためには不十分となる。
正極集電体の比A/Bが0.55よりも大きい液式鉛蓄電池では、正極板全体で充放電反応が進行しにくくなるため、ガスの発生量が部分充電状態での電解液攪拌作用を得るためには不十分となる。
[Action, effect]
The smaller the ratio A / B of the positive electrode current collector of the liquid lead-acid battery, the easier it is for the lower part of the positive electrode plate to polarize than the upper part during charging. Even so, the stirring action of the electrolytic solution can be obtained. However, when the ratio A / B is less than 0.35, the resistance value of the path from the lower part to the ear of the positive electrode collector is significantly larger than the resistance value of the path from the upper part to the ear, so that the resistance value at the lower part of the positive electrode plate is significantly higher. The charge / discharge reaction is less likely to proceed. Therefore, the amount of gas generated from the lower part is insufficient to obtain the electrolytic solution stirring action in the partially charged state.
In a liquid lead-acid battery having a positive electrode current collector ratio A / B of more than 0.55, the charge / discharge reaction is less likely to proceed in the entire positive electrode plate, so that the amount of gas generated is the electrolytic solution stirring action in a partially charged state. Not enough to get.

第一実施形態の正極集電体1および第二実施形態の正極集電体1Aの比A/Bが0.35以上0.55以下の範囲にあることにより、第一実施形態および第二実施形態の液式鉛蓄電池は、充放電反応が正極板全体で均一に行われるため、下部から発生するガスの量が、部分充電状態での電解液の攪拌作用を得るために十分な量となる。よって、第一実施形態および第二実施形態の液式鉛蓄電池によれば、部分充電状態で使用される場合に電解液の成層化が抑制されて、寿命を長くすることができる。 When the ratio A / B of the positive electrode current collector 1 of the first embodiment and the positive electrode current collector 1A of the second embodiment is in the range of 0.35 or more and 0.55 or less, the first embodiment and the second embodiment In the liquid lead-acid battery of the form, since the charge / discharge reaction is uniformly performed in the entire positive electrode plate, the amount of gas generated from the lower part is sufficient to obtain the stirring action of the electrolytic solution in the partially charged state. .. Therefore, according to the liquid lead-acid batteries of the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the stratification of the electrolytic solution is suppressed when the lead-acid battery is used in a partially charged state, and the life can be extended.

さらに、第一実施形態の正極集電体1を使用した液式鉛蓄電池及び第二実施形態の正極集電体1Aを使用した液式鉛蓄電池において、正極板の化成後の表面粗さは0.05mm以上0.2mm以下が好適であり、本条件時に電解液の成層化抑制ならびに電池性能のバランスの取れた液式鉛蓄電池とすることができる。液式鉛蓄電池におけるガス発生は過充電時に起きており、具体的には電解液中の水の電気分解が起きている。正極板の表面の化成後の表面粗さRaが0.2mmよりも大きいと、正極板の表面の凹凸の凹部内にガスが滞留しやすくなるため、内部抵抗上昇に起因する充電受入性能の低下およびエンジン始動時の急激な電圧低下による始動不良等の様々な問題を引き起こす。ただし、逆に正極板の表面の化成後の表面粗さが0.05mm未満であると、充電時に正極板の表面で生成する硫酸の沈降速度が速くなり、本発明における成層化抑制効果が得られにくい。 Further, in the liquid lead-acid battery using the positive electrode current collector 1 of the first embodiment and the liquid lead-acid battery using the positive electrode current collector 1A of the second embodiment, the surface roughness of the positive electrode plate after chemical conversion is 0. It is preferably 0.05 mm or more and 0.2 mm or less, and it is possible to obtain a liquid lead-acid battery in which the stratification of the electrolytic solution is suppressed and the battery performance is well-balanced under these conditions. Gas generation in a liquid lead-acid battery occurs during overcharging, and specifically, electrolysis of water in the electrolytic solution occurs. If the surface roughness Ra of the surface of the positive electrode plate after chemical formation is larger than 0.2 mm, gas tends to stay in the concave and convex portions on the surface of the positive electrode plate, resulting in a decrease in charge acceptance performance due to an increase in internal resistance. And it causes various problems such as starting failure due to a sudden voltage drop when starting the engine. However, on the contrary, when the surface roughness of the surface of the positive electrode plate after formation is less than 0.05 mm, the sedimentation rate of sulfuric acid generated on the surface of the positive electrode plate during charging becomes high, and the stratification suppressing effect in the present invention is obtained. Hard to get rid of.

All plots made with each resistance value Rn of the above as the y coordinate and each distance Xn between the center point and the center point P of each cut surface Cn as the x coordinate are two straight lines having different slopes with x = H as the intersection. The ratio A / B can be approximated by the average value A of each resistance value Rn at each distance Xn where x <H and the average value B of each resistance value Rn at each distance Xn where x ≧ H. It should be 0.35 or more and 0.55 or less.

[Making test batteries]
Samples No. 1 to No. 7 lead-acid batteries were produced as lead-acid batteries having the same structure as the lead-acid batteries of the embodiment.
The lead-acid batteries of Samples No. 1 to No. 7 are D23 type liquid lead-acid batteries for idling stop, and have different configurations of the grid-like substrate of the positive electrode current collector, and all other points have the same configuration. Has.

先ず、帯状の鉛合金シート(複数枚の正極集電体1に対応する大きさ)に対する打ち抜き加工工程、格子状基板11への正極活物質ペーストの充填工程、予熱乾燥工程、熟成乾燥工程、および切断工程を行うことにより、図1の正極集電体1を有する化成前の正極板を作製した。各工程は通常の方法で行った。
<Sample No.1>
The lead-acid battery of sample No. 1 has a positive electrode current collector 1 having the shape shown in FIG. 1, and has dimensions S1 = 115.0 mm, dimensions S2 = 110.0 mm, dimensions S3 = 100.0 mm, and dimensions S4 = 45. It is 0 mm and the thickness of the middle bone 112 (cross-sectional area perpendicular to the longitudinal direction) is 1.05 mm.
First, a punching process for a strip-shaped lead alloy sheet (size corresponding to a plurality of positive electrode current collectors 1), a step of filling a lattice-shaped substrate 11 with a positive electrode active material paste, a preheating drying step, an aging drying step, and By performing the cutting step, a pre-chemical electrode plate having the positive electrode current collector 1 of FIG. 1 was produced. Each step was carried out in the usual way.

負極板は、図1に示す正極集電体1と同じ形状の負極集電体を有するが、負極集電体では、寸法S1=114.0mm、寸法S2=108.0mm、寸法S3=100.0mm、寸法S4=45.0mm、中骨112の太さ(長手方向に垂直な断面積)が0.75mmである。化成前の負極板の作製も、正極板と同様の各工程を通常の方法で行うことにより行った。
次に、得られた化成前の負極板をポリエチレン製の袋状セパレータに入れたものを7枚と、得られた化成前の正極板6枚を、交互に積層して積層体を得た。次に、COS(キャストオンストラップ)方式の鋳造装置を用いて、各積層体の正極板および負極板にストラップと中間極柱と端子極柱を形成することで、極板群を得た。
The negative electrode plate has a negative electrode collector having the same shape as the positive electrode collector 1 shown in FIG. 1, but in the negative electrode collector, the size S1 = 114.0 mm, the size S2 = 108.0 mm, and the size S3 = 100. It is 0 mm, the dimension S4 = 45.0 mm, and the thickness of the middle bone 112 (cross-sectional area perpendicular to the longitudinal direction) is 0.75 mm. The negative electrode plate before chemical conversion was also produced by performing each step in the same manner as the positive electrode plate by a usual method.
Next, seven sheets of the obtained pre-chemical negative electrode plates placed in a polyethylene bag-shaped separator and six pre-chemical positive electrode plates obtained were alternately laminated to obtain a laminate. Next, a group of electrode plates was obtained by forming a strap, an intermediate electrode column, and a terminal electrode column on the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate of each laminate using a COS (cast-on-strap) type casting apparatus.

この極板群を六個用意し、電槽の各セル室に入れて、隣接するセル室間の中間極柱の抵抗溶接、電槽と蓋の熱溶着、注液孔から各セル室内への電解液の注入、および注液孔を塞ぐことなどの通常の工程を行うことにより、D23型のアイドリングストップ用液式鉛蓄電池を組み立てた。
その後、通常の方法で電槽化成を行うことで、電槽化成後の比重を1.285(20℃換算値)とした。このようにしてNo.1の鉛蓄電池を得た。
なお、このようにして得られた鉛蓄電池を解体し、正極板の化成後の表面粗さを触針式表面粗さ測定器にて測定したところ、0.1mmの結果が得られた。正極活物質の化成後の表面粗さの調整は、任意の方法をとることができる。例えば、化成後の正極板の表面をヤスリがけしてもよく、ショットブラスト等を施してもよい。また、正極合剤ペーストを充填した直後の正極充填板を、表面に目の粗い布を貼り付けた加圧ローラーを通過させることで表面粗さを調整してもよい。
Six of these electrode plates are prepared and placed in each cell chamber of the battery chamber, resistance welding of intermediate pole columns between adjacent cell chambers, heat welding of the battery chamber and lid, and injection holes into each cell chamber. A D23 type liquid lead-acid battery for idling stop was assembled by performing normal steps such as injecting an electrolytic solution and closing the injection hole.
Then, by carrying out the electric tank chemical formation by a usual method, the specific density after the electric tank chemical formation was set to 1.285 (20 ° C. conversion value). In this way, the No. 1 lead-acid battery was obtained.
When the lead-acid battery thus obtained was disassembled and the surface roughness after the formation of the positive electrode plate was measured with a stylus type surface roughness measuring instrument, a result of 0.1 mm was obtained. Any method can be used for adjusting the surface roughness after the formation of the positive electrode active material. For example, the surface of the positive electrode plate after chemical conversion may be filed or shot blasted or the like. Further, the surface roughness may be adjusted by passing the positive electrode filling plate immediately after filling with the positive electrode mixture paste through a pressure roller having a coarse cloth attached to the surface thereof.

次に、耳12の中心点Pと各中骨の切断面C1~C13との間の各抵抗値Rn(R1~R13)を、抵抗計(HIOKI社製 3554 BATTERY HiTESTER)を用いて三回ずつ測定し、平均値を算出した。また、中心点Pと各切断面C1~C13の中心点との各距離Xn(X1~X13)を、定規で測定した。これらの測定結果(各抵抗値Rnは三回測定の平均値)を表1~表7に示す。 Next, each resistance value Rn (R1 to R13) between the center point P of the ear 12 and the cut surface C1 to C13 of each middle bone is measured three times using a resistance meter (3554 BATTERY HiTESTER manufactured by HIOKI). It was measured and the average value was calculated. Further, each distance Xn (X1 to X13) between the center point P and the center points of the cut surfaces C1 to C13 was measured with a ruler. The measurement results (each resistance value Rn is the average value of three measurements) are shown in Tables 1 to 7.

次に、サンプル毎に、x軸およびy軸が共に線形目盛である座標平面に、抵抗値Rn(三回測定の平均値)をy座標、距離Xnをx座標として、測定結果をプロットした。これにより、図5~図11に示すグラフを得た。図5はNo.1の結果を、図6はNo.2の結果を、図7はNo.3の結果を、図8はNo.4の結果を、図9はNo.5の結果を、図10はNo.6の結果を、図11はNo.7の結果を、それぞれ示す。 Next, the measurement results were plotted for each sample on a coordinate plane in which both the x-axis and the y-axis are linear scales, with the resistance value Rn (mean value of three measurements) as the y coordinate and the distance Xn as the x coordinate. As a result, the graphs shown in FIGS. 5 to 11 were obtained.

Next, the average value A of each resistance value (average value of three measurements) R1 to R8 at each distance X1 to X8 where x <H, and each resistance value at each distance X9 to X13 where x ≧ H. (Mean value of three measurements) The average value B of Rn was calculated, and the ratio A / B was calculated from these calculated values. The results are shown in Table 8.

また、この寿命試験を100サイクル行った後に、電解液の比重を電槽の上部と下部で光学比重計を用いて測定し、これらの測定値から上下の比重差を算出した。
これらの結果を各サンプルの格子状基板の構成とともに表15に示す。
[Test and evaluation]
The obtained No. 1 to No. 7 lead-acid batteries were subjected to a life test using the EUCAR power assist profile. The charge / discharge pattern of one cycle of this test is shown in FIG. C 2 is a 2-hour rate capacity. In this charge / discharge pattern, there is a deep discharge in the partially charged state.
Further, after performing this life test for 100 cycles, the specific gravity of the electrolytic solution was measured at the upper part and the lower part of the electric tank using an optical hydrometer, and the difference in the upper and lower specific densities was calculated from these measured values.
These results are shown in Table 15 together with the configuration of the grid-like substrate of each sample.

表15から分かるように、0.35≦A/B≦0.55を満たさないNo.1とNo.6の鉛蓄電池は、電解液の上下比重差が0.070と0.040であったのに対し、0.35≦A/B≦0.55を満たすNo.2~No.5とNo.7の鉛蓄電池は、電解液の上下比重差が0.005~0.015と小さかった。また、0.35≦A/B≦0.55を満たさないNo.1とNo.6の鉛蓄電池の寿命は、8000~8500サイクルであったのに対し、0.35≦A/B≦0.55を満たすNo.2~No.5とNo.7の鉛蓄電池の寿命は、17000~22000サイクルと長かった。 As can be seen from Table 15, the lead-acid batteries of No. 1 and No. 6 that did not satisfy 0.35 ≤ A / B ≤ 0.55 had a difference in the vertical specific gravity of the electrolytic solution of 0.070 and 0.040. On the other hand, the lead-acid batteries No. 2 to No. 5 and No. 7 satisfying 0.35 ≤ A / B ≤ 0.55 had a small difference in the vertical specific gravity of the electrolytic solution of 0.005 to 0.015. .. Further, the life of the lead-acid batteries of No. 1 and No. 6 that do not satisfy 0.35 ≦ A / B ≦ 0.55 was 8000 to 8500 cycles, whereas 0.35 ≦ A / B ≦ 0. The life of the lead-acid batteries of No. 2 to No. 5 and No. 7 satisfying .55 was as long as 17,000 to 22,000 cycles.

以上の結果から、0.35≦A/B≦0.55を満たす正極集電体を備え、正極板の表面粗さが0.1mmである液式鉛蓄電池は、部分充電状態で使用される場合に電解液の成層化が抑制されて、寿命を長くできることが確認できた。なお、正極板の表面粗さが0.05mm以上0.2mm以下であると、正極板の表面の凹凸の凹部内にガスが滞留することもなく、内部抵抗も上昇せず、また、硫酸の沈降速度を抑えることができ成層化抑制効果が確実に得られる。 From the above results, a liquid lead-acid battery having a positive electrode current collector satisfying 0.35 ≦ A / B ≦ 0.55 and having a surface roughness of 0.1 mm of the positive electrode plate is used in a partially charged state. In some cases, it was confirmed that the stratification of the electrolytic solution was suppressed and the life could be extended. When the surface roughness of the positive electrode plate is 0.05 mm or more and 0.2 mm or less, gas does not stay in the concave and convex portions on the surface of the positive electrode plate, the internal resistance does not increase, and sulfuric acid is used. The sedimentation rate can be suppressed and the stratification suppressing effect can be surely obtained.
