CONSTITUTION:A group of electrode plates for a lead-acid battery consisting of four pos. electrode plates and five neg. electrode plates 2 per cell are assembled, and a separator 3 and glass mat 4 are inserted between the pos. and neg. electrode plates 1, 2 in order to prevent shortcircuiting. A strap 5 is formed by the cast-on-strap method, and a mat-form body 6 made of extra-fine glass fiber of one um in dia. is inserted so as to be in tight contact with the surface of a tab 7 provided at each neg. electrode plate 2. This group of electrode plates is inserted in a battery jar, and the mat-form body 6 is inserted also between the bulkhead of the battery jar and the tab of neg. electrode plate at the end, and then inter-cell connections, terminal welding, etc., are performed. Thereby the tab of neg. electrode plate is free from corrosion even though it serves in severe circumference, and a lead acid battery with high safety and reliability can be obtained.

On the other hand, the environment in which lead-acid batteries are used has recently become particularly severe. For example, in cars that use automotive lead-acid batteries, the amount of heat generated increases due to an increase in the number of coolers installed and higher engine output, but at the same time there is a lack of cool air inflow due to the slant nose and high density arrangement of various electrical components. As a result, lead-acid batteries installed under the hood are easily exposed to high temperatures. Furthermore, an increase in charging current due to an increase in the output of the alternator causes the lead-acid battery to become even hotter and overcharged. Furthermore, lead-acid batteries tend to be discharged more deeply due to the increase in electric devices such as rear wipers and power windows, the increase in accessories such as audio equipment, and the increase in dark current due to computerization. Even in lead-acid batteries for electric vehicles, the tendency of lead-acid batteries to become hotter, overcharged, and deeply discharged is exacerbated by the improved operating rates of batteries and forklifts and the increase in charging and discharging current.

[0004] These factors such as high temperature, overcharging, and deep discharge shorten the life of lead-acid batteries, and none of them are preferable, but among them, high temperature is a particularly important problem. This is because the high temperature not only makes it easier for the water in the dilute sulfuric acid in the lead-acid battery to evaporate, but also increases the charging current and further increases the electrolysis of water, resulting in the electrolyte level dropping very quickly. . Normally, the appropriate electrolyte level range is indicated on lead-acid batteries by a method such as printing or engraving, and when using a lead-acid battery, make sure that the electrolyte level is always within the indicated range. Water will be replenished as appropriate. However, if the electrolyte level drops too rapidly, the electrolyte level may be used while being located further below the lower limit of the appropriate range. If this condition continues, the positive and negative electrode plates will rapidly deteriorate.
The lifespan of lead-acid batteries is significantly shortened. Furthermore, if the vicinity of the strap of the negative electrode plate lugs is abnormally corroded and the corrosion is severe, there may be a risk of explosion.

[0005] In order to avoid this situation, when designing automobiles, forklifts, etc., take care to prevent the temperature of lead-acid batteries from rising as much as possible, and check the electrolyte level frequently when using them. It is important to always maintain an appropriate electrolyte level. However, from the viewpoint of safety and reliability, it is desirable to make the lead-acid battery itself as safe as possible even in such cases.

[0011] In the conventional product, the corrosion of the negative electrode plate lugs was extremely advanced as shown in FIG. 4, but in the product according to the present invention,
As shown in Figure 3, almost no corrosion was observed. (Example 2) After assembling the same electrode plate group as in Example 1, this electrode plate group was inserted into a battery case, and the cells were connected by resistance welding. After that, the gap between the electrode plate group and the battery case around the negative electrode strap was sealed with hot melt. Next, a raw material solution of phenol foam resin was injected between the negative electrode plate lugs and around the negative electrode strap. The raw material liquid for the phenol foam resin is a mixed liquid consisting of a base agent, a curing agent, a foaming agent, and a surfactant, and foaming and curing are completed within ten minutes after injection, leaving almost no gap between the edges of the negative electrode plate. It was present and was in close contact with the ear. In addition, a phenolic resin having open cells with an average pore diameter of 10 microns and a cell ratio of 92% was produced here. The pore size and cell rate can be controlled by the foaming agent, surfactant, foaming temperature, and the like.

In these examples, the lead-acid battery negative plate lug according to the present invention was hardly corroded because the electrolyte was retained in the fine voids of the porous material that was in close contact with the negative plate lug. This is thought to be due to the fact that the lugs are now in constant contact with the electrolyte, and that the porous material prevents oxidation of the lugs of the negative electrode plate due to oxygen generated during charging.
