LEAD BATTERIES WITH STARCH-COATED GLASS FIBERS IN THE ACTIVE MASS

摘要

This invention relates to an electrode plate for leed storage bstteries having a pasted-on active moss containing an additive of glass fibers, wherein the glass fibers are provided with a starch coating. Conventionally, plate grids are coated or filled with mass whose ingredients are lead powder or red lead, sulfuric acid and water. In such mass, even after air drying, shrinkage makes itself deleteriously felt, in such manner that the mass surface develops tears and cracks. These disadvantages are minimized in the present invention.
