A battery negative electrode plate is made by loading a metallic electrode plaque with an active material paste having a solid component comprising about 70-100 weight percent iron particles over about 5 microns diameter; about 0-30 weight percent iron particles up to about 1 micron diameter; about 0-1 weight percent of a water-soluble dispersion agent and about 0.02-0.5 weight percent of a water-soluble cellulosic thickener. The paste has a solids to water ratio of between about 5:1 to 2:1 and can be activated with effective amounts of sulfur, selenium, or tellurium containing additives. |
