摘要:
A battery electrode with a pasting textile, fabric, or scrim made with an electrode grid (e.g., a stamped grid or expanded metal grid) coated in battery electrode and covered with pasting textile formed of a bonded, non-woven fiber web. The web is formed from one or more fibers with an average length greater than 20 μm. In various embodiments, the web is formed from one or more spun, continuous fibers. The battery electrode may be made in a continuous process where multiple grids are formed in a single sheet, coated with electrode active material, and the scrim before being cut into individual electrodes.

Separators for use in batteries are disclosed. In various embodiments, the separators include one or more of raised shoulders, ribs in three or more sizes, thickened mini-ribs on shoulders, and ribs within the shoulder. The disclosed separators are more resistant to failure due to punctures or tears than conventional separators.

摘要:
A combined dual ganged manifold and cover arrangement for batteries features channeling of gas flow to an explosion attenuation device located between the manifolds and a cover designed for maximizing return to the battery of any electrolyte which may contact the cover from vibration, tilting, overheating, overcharge and the like. Splash barrels within the cover include a unique acid level indicator, and feet are provided on the manifold to prevent the manifolds from inadvertently being used with other cover designs. The arrangement is particularly useful for batteries having terminal posts lying along the battery centerline. The cover utilizes external and internal gas pick-up systems and perpetual hill and infinite well concepts to control acid flow. A narrow channel reduces standing wave electrolyte surface violence.
摘要:
A flexible rib plaque is provided for insertion between battery cell elements and the end and/or an interior wall of the battery container. The plaque improves performance by limiting the harmful effects caused by flexing of the container walls due to hydraulic pressure changes of the electrolyte contained within the battery. The ribs of the plaques may be located on one or both sides of the plaque. If ribs extend from only one side, they may contact the cell element or the container wall.
摘要:
A battery cover for a battery casing has a plurality of electrolyte containing cells, a primary cover and a secondary cover. The primary cover has a plurality of barrels arranged along a longitudinal axis and the secondary cover has a plurality of tubular elements extending downwardly and insertable in the barrels of the primary cover. Each of the tubular elements has an inner tubular member and an outer tubular member. The outer tubular member has an axially extending cutout portion which runs from its tip to the surface of the secondary cover. The battery cover also has a plurality of baffles defining a circuitous passageway for gases which are evolved in the cells of the battery to be released to an external port located on the secondary cover.
摘要:
A flat, rigid sheet of predetermined configuration is provided for insertion between each end cell element and the corresponding container end wall of a battery during production line manufacturing. The battery is thus protected from the harmful effects resulting from the flexing of the container end walls due to oscillating hydraulic pressure of the electrolyte contained within the outermost cells of the battery.
