<p>In the field of batteries there is a need for a grid that offers improved corrosion capabilities and that is optimised for electrical performance. A grid (110) for a battery comprises a frame having a top frame element (112), a bottom frame element (118), a first side frame element (114) and a second side frame element (116). The grid (110) also includes a first wire (126c) extending between the top frame element (112) and the first side frame element (114), and a second wire (126n) extending between the top frame element (112) and the second side frame element (116). A plurality of wires (126d-126m) is provided between the first wire (126c) and the second wire (126n) that extend between the top frame element (112) and the bottom frame element (118). A further plurality of wires (131, 133, 135, 137) is provided between the first wire (126c) and the second wire (126n) that are generally parallel to the bottom frame element (118). At least a portion (131a, 133a, 135a, 137a) of the further plurality of wires (131, 133, 135, 137) do not extend continuously between the first wire (126c) and the second wire (126n).</p> |
