摘要:
Lead-acid batteries utilizing both positive and negative electrodes are prepared using a specific procedure for curing of these electrodes. This curing procedure involves use of a carbon dioxide enriched atmosphere and the presence of water. This procedure permits rapid curing of the electrodes without subsequent separation of the active material from the electrode grid. The procedure is particularly applicable to nonreactive grid pastes such as tetrabasic lead sulfate since separation of active material from electrode grid is a particularly serious problem in such cases.
摘要:
An electrode plate for a lead-acid storage battery which is composed of three thin grid units, each having its own active material. The characteristics of the cell can be controlled by varying the electrochemical properties of the different grid units. The lead alloy material of one grid unit may be different from the lead alloy material of another unit which can allow the use of some grids that are essentially free of antimony. The porosity of the active material on different grids can also be varied. The several grid units are joined together to provide a common electrical flag terminal which can be joined in a conventional manner to a pole bridge and thus be part of a plate set.

The invention comprises a storage battery having a positive electrode of lead peroxide supported by a grid of titanium having a polarization inhibiting layer between the titanium and the lead peroxide, a negative electrode of lead supported by a grid of stainless steel and an electrolyte of sulfuric acid, preferably gelled, containing a small amount of titanyl sulfate. The battery is hermetically sealed.
摘要:
A lead acid storage battery having dry discharged plates contains a hydrogen ion producing salt within its container. The cell is activated by the addition of water only followed by charging. The presence of the salt prevents the formation of a deleterious corrosion. Preferred salts are the acid sulfates of the alkali metals.

摘要:
A storage battery is described which includes an improved positive electrode. Such an electrode comprises a supporting base of an electrically conductive material inert to corrosion in sulfuric acid, a non-polarizing layer adhering to the surface of the supporting base, an electrodeposited layer of chemically inert beta-lead dioxide adhering to the surface of the nonpolarizing layer, and a layer of chemically active lead dioxide adhering to the electrodeposited beta-lead dioxide layer.
摘要:
An electric storage battery for motor vehicles is composed of two subunits which are a main storage battery and an auxiliary storage battery. both subunits are interconnected by a switch which, in one operation position, disconnects the auxiliary battery from the main battery and connects it directly to ignition terminal of the ignition system of a motor vehicle. Thus, the spark plugs of the engine receive the full voltage of the electric storage battery undiminished by voltage drops such as caused by operating the electric starting motor of the system. Thereby, the disadvantage of starting difficulties experienced with motor vehicles having normal electric storage batteries in cold weather is successfully avoided. The main unit has U-shaped plates, and these define a recess in which the auxiliary unit is received.
