[0003] In this sealed battery, a Pb-Ca based alloy lattice is often used for the positive electrode. In this case, the cycle life is considerably shorter than that of a conventional liquid battery using an Sb alloy lattice for the positive electrode. It has been known. In addition, the sealed lead-acid battery has a low active material utilization rate in order to stabilize the above-mentioned life performance. Therefore, the energy density is considerably lower than that of the liquid battery from the beginning, and it is expected to be applied to EV applications. It is a big problem in planning.

Many measures have been taken for a long time to improve the energy density of a sealed lead battery using a Pb-Ca alloy. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 54-49538 proposes a method for improving initial performance by adding tin sulfate or tin dioxide to a positive electrode active material. However, this method has not yet been put to practical use because, as a result of our research, tin elutes from the positive electrode and precipitates on the negative electrode plate, lowering the charging efficiency of the negative electrode and reducing the life performance. all right.

A separator mainly composed of fine glass fibers containing 0% silica powder is used as an electrolyte holder. Further, the specific surface area of the silica powder in the separator is 50 to 500 m 2 / g.

As a result of various studies, we have found that tin eluted from the positive electrode active material is easily adsorbed on silica powder in the separator. It is considered that since silica has a large specific surface area, tin eluted in the electrolytic solution is easily adsorbed to the silica powder, and as a result, tin is prevented from depositing on the negative electrode plate.

First, 1/3 CA discharge capacity was measured at 30 ° C. The test results are shown in FIG. As can be seen from the figure, when the amount of tin sulfate added is up to 5%, the capacity is greatly improved by adding 0.5% or more of tin sulfate.
In addition, when the amount of silica in the separator is increased, the porosity of the separator is reduced, so that the discharge capacity is slightly reduced.

[0013] Tin sulfate is added in an amount of 0.5% or more and 5% or less,
The battery in which the amount of silica in the separator was 30% or more and 80% or less had remarkably superior life performance as compared with a conventional battery in which tin sulfate was not added. On the other hand, tin sulfate was added to the positive electrode at 0.1.
The life performance of the battery using the electrode plate to which only 1% was added was not much different from the battery to which no electrode was added. In the case where the amount of silica in the separator was 90% regardless of the amount of tin sulfate added, the capacity was reduced at an early stage. Possibly, in this case, the amount of silica was too large, so that the movement of the electrolyte impregnated into the separator was too slow, which adversely affected the battery performance.

When the amount of tin sulfate in the positive electrode active material was as high as 7%, the capacity was reduced promptly regardless of the amount of silica in the separator. When the amount of tin deposited on the negative electrode plate after disassembly after the life test was examined, a large amount of tin was deposited on the negative electrode plate regardless of the amount of silica in the separator when the amount of tin sulfate was 7%. Even when the amount of tin was 5% or less, a large amount of tin was precipitated when the amount of silica in the separator was less than 30%.

[0015] From the above, tin is added to the positive electrode active material in an amount of 0.1.

It has been found that by using the added separator, not only the energy density of the sealed lead storage battery of the retainer type can be improved, but also a long life can be achieved.

In this embodiment, tin sulfate was used as tin. However, there was almost no difference between tin oxide and tin metal. Although the main component of the separator is fine glass fiber of 0.5 to 5 microns, it has been found from the test results so far that the result of this test does not depend on the fiber diameter of the separator.

In this test, silica powder of 200 m 2 / g was used. As a result of the test, 50 m 2 / g to 500 m 2 / g was used.
The effect was significant when silica having a specific surface area of 2 / g was used. When a silica powder having a specific surface area of more than 500 m 2 / g was used, there was a tendency that a decrease in the capacity became large probably because the movement of the electrolytic solution was not good.
