Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a sealed lead-acid battery which can prevent explosion by filling an explosion-proof pad into a space in a battery jar except part of it. CONSTITUTION:An explosion-proof pad 10 is filled into a space 9 in a battery jar 5 except part of it. A gel of colloidal silica made of SiO2 and sulfuric acid and dilute sulfuric acid is used for the explosion-proof pad 10. Since this gel has a large quantity of moisture, the cooling effect of combustion gas against a battery jar wall is large, and the explosion-proof effect can further be strengthened.
