Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the influence of the surface condition of a plate upon the performance of a sealed lead storage battery, and decrease self-discharge caused during preservation by forming gooves on the surface of the plate so that parts in very close contact and parts not in close contact are provided between a separtor and the surface of the plate. CONSTITUTION:The surface of plates 1 is provided with vertical grooves 2 in such a manner that concave parts 3 and convex parts 4 are alternately positioned. More specifically, the positive plate is formed by providing vertical grooves 2 of 0.2mm. depth on the surface of a plate of 2.5mm. thickness at intervals of 3mm., while the negative plate is formed by providing vertical grooves of 0.2mm. depth on the surface of a plate of 1.5mm. thickness at the same intervals as above. By thus providing vertical grooves on the surface of the plate, oxygen gas generated from a positive electrode during charging is easily introduced into a negative electrode enabling the oxygen gas to be easily absorbed by reacting with the negative electrode.

Conventionally, the electrode plates in this type of lead-acid battery were made by filling a lattice made of lead alloy etc. with a paste made of lead oxide powder and dilute sulfuric acid, etc., and using it as an active material after chemical formation. . According to this method, differences in the surface condition of the electrode plate tend to occur depending on the paste filling density, chemical formation conditions, etc. when filling the paste, and this difference has a large effect on battery performance. The purpose of this is to reduce the influence of this electrode plate surface condition on battery performance, and also to reduce self-discharge during storage.

In terms of battery performance, it is necessary that sufficient electrolyte exists at the reaction interface between the separator and the electrode plate surface, and that the separator and the electrode plate surface have good adhesion. Conventionally,
Uniform pressure is applied to the electrode plates and the separator to ensure close contact between the electrode plates and the separator, and to ensure uniform distribution of the electrolyte. However, since this adhesion and the ability to hold the electrolyte in the separator are contradictory, it is not easy to ensure that both are sufficient, and there is still room for improvement in battery performance such as self-discharge. In the present invention, grooves are formed on the surface of the electrode plate to create uneven portions, and firstly, the contact area between the separator and the electrode plate is increased. This increases the apparent surface area compared to conventional electrode plates with uniform thickness, lowers the current density during charging and discharging, and improves the utilization rate of the active material. Therefore, the same discharge capacity as before can be obtained with less active material. Second, the pressure applied to the groove part on the surface of the horizontal plate and the separator corresponding to this part is lower than that in other parts, so the electrolyte is collected in this part and reaches the reaction interface between the separator and the electrode plate. Enough electrolyte will be retained. Third, because the separator has good liquid retention properties at the reaction interface, ions can easily diffuse, and even if sulfuric acid in the electrolyte is consumed during self-discharge, sulfuric acid will not be released from the bulk inside the electrode plate. It is possible to suppress the rise and rise of PH inside the electrode plate. Fourth, since a quantitatively regulated amount of electrolytic solution is sufficiently present at the reaction interface, effective use of the electrolytic solution is possible. Due to these advantages, it is possible to improve the recovery of charge capacity after self-discharge and also to improve battery performance.

Furthermore, by increasing the reaction interface, it is possible to increase the charging current during charging even when the battery is over-discharged, which is effective in improving capacity recovery.
