[Prior Art] Paste-type electrode plates and clad-type electrode plates have been known as types of anodes for storage batteries. In recent years, attempts have been made to seal storage batteries, and paste-type sealed lead-acid batteries have a separator mainly made of fine glass fibers with an average diameter of 1 μm or less interposed between the electrode plates, and the electrolyte is absorbed by this separator. This eliminates the flowing electrolyte and allows the oxygen gas generated at the positive electrode at the end of charging to move to the negative electrode through the gaps in the separator and react with the negative electrode active material, thereby sealing the battery.

As for the glass fiber-based materials mentioned in (2), there are those that use a binder such as a liquid adhesive, and those that do not use such a binder. If you use a binder,
Even if it is used in a small amount of 2 to 3%, its adhesive effect will improve strength and hardness, but the volume expansion due to liquid absorption will be inhibited by the binder, and the liquid absorption rate will decrease significantly, causing the liquid retention of the separator. The properties and liquid absorption become worse. On the other hand, those that do not use binders can freely expand in volume by absorbing liquid, have the best electrolyte retention and absorption properties, and are the most suitable in terms of battery characteristics. Because the sheet shape is maintained by the entanglement force and the adhesion effect caused by the chemical reaction on the fiber surface, it is insufficient in strength to be applied to high-speed battery assembly processes, resulting in low battery productivity and expensive sealed types. It has no choice but to become a lead-acid battery.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The main material of separators used in conventional sealed lead-acid batteries is glass fiber, which has high tensile strength but low shear stress.
As shown in FIG. 2, there was a problem in that the separator 1 was broken at the contact points A and B between the separator 1 and the electrode plate 2 due to the shear stress F. Breakage at contacts A and B of separator 1 means that there is a high risk of a short circuit between the positive and negative electrode plates, so conventionally the assembly was done extremely slowly and carefully to avoid such breakage. I was forced to do that. For this reason, the resulting sealed lead-acid battery has the drawback of being expensive.

Various studies have been conducted on techniques to improve the tensile strength and hardness of separators for storage batteries, but no proposals have been made on techniques to improve shear strength in order to prevent short circuits between positive and negative electrode plates. do not have. For this reason, a separator for storage batteries with high productivity, that is, a high shear strength that prevents short circuits at the ends of the electrode plates even when the positive and negative electrode plates are overlapped with the separator interposed at high speed. It has been desired to stack these at high speed to create an inexpensive sealed lead-acid battery.

Number of cycles required to decrease to 0% As shown in Table 2, the separator containing aromatic polyamide fiber used in the sealed lead-acid battery of the present invention is similar to the conventional separator made of glass fiber (No. 4). It has excellent liquid absorption and liquid retention properties, maintains other properties that are similarly high, and has extremely high shear strength. On the other hand, 20% by weight of aromatic polyamide fiber
In the separator (No. 5) containing a large amount of the compound, the liquid absorbency decreases, which is not preferable.

Therefore, as is clear from Table 3, the sealed lead-acid battery (A) of the present invention is different from the one using the conventional separator (B).
It has a capacity equal to or greater than that of 1, and has a long life without breaking at the ends of the plates and causing short circuits even when both positive and negative plates are stacked at high speed. Furthermore, since it does not cause short circuits even when handled roughly than conventional batteries, it becomes possible to stack positive and negative polar plates at high speed, resulting in a cheaper sealed lead-acid battery. The reason why the life performance of B in Table 3 varies widely is that a short circuit occurred due to repeated charging and discharging at a small fracture at the end of the electrode plate that occurred during assembly.
