Abstract:
A rubber valve body for sealed battery includes a rubber composition containing a resin in an amount of 20% by mass or more and an inorganic substance, wherein the melting point of the resin is in a range of 100 to 165° C.
Abstract:
A positive electrode material for an alkaline storage battery includes: nickel hydroxide; and at least one of a Sr compound, a Ca compound, and a compound of at least one element selected from the group consisting of Y and lanthanide elements of atomic number 62 (Sm) to 71 (Lu). An A element as at least one element selected from the group consisting of Al, Ga, Mn, and Mo is held in solid solution in a crystallite of the nickel hydroxide. The content of the A element, [A]/([Ni]+[A]), is 5% or more and 16% or less (where [A] represents the molarity of the A element in the crystallite and [Ni] represents the molarity of Ni). The nickel hydroxide includes α-phase nickel hydroxide and β-phase nickel hydroxide.
Abstract:
A layered electrode group according to the present invention includes a positive electrode plate, a negative electrode plate, and a separator. The positive electrode plate is formed into a substantial U-shape by disposing two active material retaining portions retaining the positive active material opposite to each other. The negative electrode plate is formed into a substantial U-shape by disposing two active material retaining portions retaining the negative active material opposite to each other. The positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate are layered such that at least one active material retaining portion at the positive electrode plate is sandwiched between two active material retaining portions at the negative electrode plate.
Abstract:
A battery includes: a cylindrical battery case; and an electrode body disposed in the battery case, and including a positive plate, a negative plate, and a separator disposed between the positive plate and the negative plate. A spacer formed of a dense body and an electrolyte storage space storing an electrolyte are provided between the electrode body and the battery case on one end or both ends of the battery case in an axial direction of the electrode body.

Abstract:
An energy storage device including: a cylindrical case having at least one end closed; and an electrode assembly housed in the case. A reduced-diameter portion, at which an outer diameter of the case is reduced, is formed at the closed end of the case.
Abstract:
An energy storage device including a spiral electrode group in which a first electrode plate and a second electrode plate having polarity reverse to that of the first electrode plate are spirally wound with a separator interposed therebetween, wherein the second electrode plate is opposed to an inner circumference and an outer circumference of the first electrode plate, portions of the separator are reinforced, the reinforced portions of the separator include a first reinforced portion formed between a winding-start end of the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate located on a radially outer side of the winding-start end, and a second reinforced portion formed between the winding-start end of the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate located on a radially inner side of the winding-start end, and the first reinforced portion and the second reinforced portion are arranged apart from each other.
