PURPOSE:To simplify and facilitate formation of plates for a lead storage battery by performing the formation while a porous plate impregnated with electrolyte is interposed between a formation counter electrode and a plate to be formed. CONSTITUTION:A porous plate 3 made of glass fiber or similar material is closely interposed between a nonformed negative plate 2 installed in a negative container 1 made of a conductive material such as lead and a counter electrode 4 which has a conductive section 5 and is made of an acid-proof oxidation-resistant metal such as lead. Next, after the negative and the porous plates 2 and 3 are impregnated with dilute sulfuric acid, formation is performed by using the negativae plate 2 as a negative pole to obtain a formed negative plate 2'. A lead storage battery is assembled by interposing separators 3' between thus formed negative plates 2' and formed positive plates 6' which are obtained by the same method as the formed negative plates 2'. Accordingly, plates for a small battery can be easily formed and also the battery can be easily assembled after completing the formation process. |
