One of the causes of deterioration of a lead storage battery is corrosion of an electrode grid made of a lead alloy. In particular, when corrosion occurs in the grid of the anode, Pb changes to PbO or PbSO 4 , thereby expanding the volume of the grid of the electrode plate. Due to this volume expansion,
When the anode plate grid extends vertically and protrudes upward from the upper end of the separator that separates the anode and cathode grids, the anode plate grid contacts the ears of the cathode plate grid and the cathode strap, There is a possibility that a short circuit may occur. When such a short circuit occurs, the discharge voltage of the lead storage battery gradually decreases to reach the end of its life. In addition, since the electric resistance of the lattice increases, I
The high-rate discharge characteristics also deteriorate due to the R drop.
