FLEXIBLE BATTERY SEPARATOR

摘要

A separator used between positive and negative electrode plates in a battery comprises a sheet of flexible material capable of being wrapped around an electrode plate with a central part of the sheet in contact with one main surface of the electrode plate and two side parts of the sheet alongside the other main surface of the electrode plate, each side part having an edge portion, the edge portion of one side part overlapping the edge portion of the other side part when the sheet is wrapped around the electrode plate, the width of the two edge portions being sufficient to prevent the occurrence of an electrical short in use.
