A sealed lead-acid cell comprises a cell container (10), a cell element positioned in the cell container and comprising a plurality of positive and negative plates (68) and an absorbent separator (66) positioned between adjacent plates, the positive and negative plates and the separator being positioned in a pancake orientation to minimize separator saturation and electrolyte stratification and thereby enhance electrical performance, each of the positive and negative plates having at least one lug, and a cell cover (14) sealed to the container (10) and having at least one positive terminal (18) and at least one negative terminal (20) sealed thereto, a positive strap electrically connecting the lugs of the positive plates together and to the positive terminal, and a negative strap electrically connecting the lugs of the negative plates together and to the negative terminal. <IMAGE> |
