DEVICES AND METHODS FOR LEAD ACID BATTERIES

摘要

A bipolar lead acid battery comprises a compression resistant separator in which the electrolyte is retained in a gelled form, and wherein quasi-bipolar electrodes are maintained in a cell stack under pressure. Most preferably, the negative active material further includes a compression resistant spacer structure and the battery is configured as a VR-BLAB where each single cell can independently vent gases during the charge cycle.
