摘要:
In accordance with at least selected embodiments or aspects, the present invention is directed to improved, unique, and/or complex performance lead acid battery separators, such as improved flooded lead acid battery separators, batteries including such separators, methods of production, and/or methods of use. The preferred battery separator of the present invention addresses and optimizes multiple separator properties simultaneously. It is believed that the present invention is the first to recognize the need to address multiple separator properties simultaneously, the first to choose particular multiple separator property combinations, and the first to produce commercially viable multiple property battery separators, especially such a separator having negative cross ribs.
摘要:
A multilayer deep cycle battery separator comprising at least two layers of an automotive-sized separator bonded or welded together. The automotive-sized separator layers include a backweb having a backweb thickness between 6 to 10 mils, an overall thickness of between 25 to 65 mils, and a rib base width of between 20 to 35 mils. The automotive-sized separator layers also have an extraction time of between 45 to 75 seconds, thereby providing an overall extraction time of less than a standard deep cycle battery separator.
摘要:
An improved, new, modified, or more robust embossed battery separator for a storage battery, a method for its production, an envelope embossed separator, batteries including the embossed separators and/or envelopes, and/or related methods for the production and/or use of the embossed separators, embossed envelopes, and/or batteries including such embossed separators and/or envelopes.
摘要:
A method for producing a microporous membrane comprising the steps of: providing an ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE); providing a filler; providing a processing plasticizer; mixing UHMWPE, filler and the processing plasticizer together to form a mixture having a weight ratio of filler to UHMWPE of from 1:9 to 15:1 by weight; extruding the mixture to form a sheet from the mixture; processing said sheet where processing is selected from the group consisting of: calendaring, casting or blowing; extracting all or part of the processing plasticizer from the sheet to produce a matrix comprising UHMWPE and the filler distributed throughout the matrix, to produce a microporous matrix sheet; and optionally calendaring the microporous matrix sheet to produce a microporous membrane.
摘要:
A battery separator for a lead acid battery addresses the issues of acid stratification and separator oxidation arising from contaminants. The separator includes a microporous membrane and a diffusive mat affixed thereto. The diffusive mat has a three hour wick of: at least about 2.5 cm. The diffusive mat may be made of synthetic fibers, glass fibers, natural fibers, and combinations thereof. The diffusive mat may include silica. The separator may include a rubber.
摘要:
A battery separator for a lead acid (storage) battery is made from a thermoplastic sheet material. The sheet material has a central region flanked by peripheral regions. The central region includes a plurality of longitudinally extending ribs that are integrally formed from the sheet material. The peripheral regions are free of ribs and may include a densified structure. Also disclosed are a method of producing the foregoing separator, an envelope separator made from the sheet material, and a method of making the envelope separator.
摘要:
A separator for a lead acid battery is a porous membrane having a positive electrode face and a negative electrode face. A plurality of longitudinally extending ribs, a plurality of protrusions or a nonwoven material may be disposed upon the positive electrode face. A plurality of transversely extending ribs are disposed upon the negative electrode face. The transverse ribs disposed upon the negative electrode face are preferably juxtaposed to a negative electrode of the lead acid battery, when the separator is placed within that battery.
