A recombinant lead acid electric storage battery in which the separator is an electrolyte and gas permeable compressible fibrous material having an electrolyte absorption ratio of at least 100% and a volume E of electrolyte of at least 0.8(X+Y) where X is the total pore volume of the separators in the dry state and Y is the total pore volume of the active electrode material in the dry fully charged state, the battery at least when fully charged having no free unabsorbed electrolyte. Gas recombination at least at charging rates not in excess of C/20 is achieved for miner's cap lamp, aircraft and automotive batteries which are described. |
