Corrosion inhibiting electrolytic solutions

摘要

The present invention relates to methods and compositions for reducing corrosion and gassing that occurs within lead-acid storage batteries. In particular, combinations of anodic corrosion inhibitors such as hydrolyzed gelatin and water soluble iodides are preferred inhibitors; and these inhibitors provide excellent results when also used in combination with surfactants which are sodium salts of diphenyl sulfonate. Admixtures of anodic corrosion inhibitors, replace the conventional electrolyte solution within the battery.
