A lead-acid storage battery and method for making same characterized by significantly improved performance characteristics, especially for starting, lighting and ignition applications. Compared to commercially available batteries for such applications, batteries according to the present invention provide substantially improved peak power and cranking power per unit weight and volume, typically achieving improvements on the order of about 25 to 65 percent. Multiple intercell connections and uniquely configured electrode plates are combined with other modified physical parameters in a novel manner to obtain such improvements, employing, if desired, pre-molded containers of standardized external dimensions. <IMAGE> |
