<p>The invention provides a sealed type storage battery which is low in its internal pressure during an overcharging operation, and is small in its capacity loss when operated whether at a high or low temperature, and has a longer cycle life. A sealed type storage battery using a hydrogen-occlusion electrode as a negative electrode is filled up with an alkaline electrolyte, and there is provided a standing time within 14 hours after the battery was filled up with the electrolyte until the start of the initial charge operation, and also the initial charge operation is discontinued at such a time point that the battery is in such an incompletely charged state where 5 % or more but less than 100 % of its rated capacity has been charged, and thereafter the initial charge operation is resumed. <IMAGE></p> |
