A battery plate assembly for a lead-acid battery is disclosed. The assembly includes a plates of op:post:ttg polarity each fbrrned by an electmeaily ednduetive grid body having opposed, top mid bottom frame and opposed first and second side frame elements, the top frame element having a lug and an opposing enlarged conductive section extending toward; the bottom frame element; a plurality of interconnecting electrically conductive grid elements defining a grid pattern defining a plurality of open areas, the grid elements including a plurality of radially extending vertical grid, wire elements connected to the top frame element, and a plurality of horizontal extending grid wire elements, the grid body having an active material provided thereon. A highly absorbent: separator is wrapped around at least a portion of the plate of a first polarity and extends to opposing plate face. An electrolye is provided, wherein substantially all of the electrolyie is absorbed by the separator or active material. A method for assembling a battery is also disclosed. |
