Definitions
- the present invention relates to sealed lead acid batteries having electrodes for oxygen gas recombination, said electrodes being separated porous separating means in which the electrolyte is absorbed- So-called maintenance-free batteries exist in a plurality of different embodiments to satisfy the special conditions with which a battery is designed to operate.
- the operating conditions are highly determinative to the way in which the cell or the battery is charged.
- the major part of the active material is used, both in th postive and the negative electrode.
- the separators are n completely saturated with electrolyte to permit the oxygen gas developing at the positive electrode to diffuse rapidly through the porous material from the positive to the negative electrode to recombine there.
- the oxygen gas developed at the positive electrode should consequently diffuse to the negative electrode to react rapidly with the active material, whereby lead is converted into lead oxide.
- This reaction means that the negative electrode is partially discharged and is prevente from reaching its completely charged state.
- hydrogen gas also prevented from developing at this electrode. Since the velocity of the oxygen gas recombination at the negative electrode is greater than th velocity of the generation of oxygen gas at the positive electrode, there will be practically no loss of liquid and simultaneously the overpressure in the sealed battery will be: limited..
- the spacing between the negative electrodes is " not filled with electrolyte bu is only intended to enhance the active areas of the electrodes and thereb the recombination effect.
- the object of the present invention is, however, to provide a construction of a maintenance-free battery in which at small current dis ⁇ charges no lock of sulphate ions will occur and which therefore, in view of the capacity are substantially better than conventional sealed batteri having either single or double negative electrodes.
- This object is real zed according to the invention substantially by the fact that a porous separator saturated with electrolyte is disposed between the negative electrodes.
- the acid reservoir between double positive electrodes, but since the oxygen gas is developed at the positive plate the recombination would decrease and the amount * of gas escaping from the cell would increase since only a minor amount of oxygen gas would be able to reach the negative electrode by diffusion in the porous separator. In addition, for a split negative electrode the recombination will be more efficient since a larger active area of the negative electrode is obtained.
- a lead battery is schematically shown, the electrodes being enclosed in an airtight case 1 and the positive 2 and negative 3 electrode are separated by a separator made from porous material 4, in which the electrolyte is absorbed. Since a sealed battery of this type do not permit the occurance of free electrolyte in the cell the porous separator is saturated with acid only up to about 90%.
- the negative electrodes consist of at least two electrode plates 3a and 3b, positioned at a certain distance fr each other, whereby a supply space 5 for the electrolyte is formed which is also absorbed in a porous separator.
- the electrode plates can be provided with openings in order to facil tate the migration of acid from the space between the plates to the positive electrode.
- the oxygen gas generated at the positiv plate will be given good possibilities to reach the negative plate throug the porous separator in order to oxidize the lead to lead oxide.
- the acid surplus between the two negative plates will guarantee a high battery capacity compared to a conventional battery of t ma ntenance-free type.
- the small amount of oxygen gas developed at the positive electrodes which will not immediately reach the adjacent negativ electrodes will cause a certain pressure increase in the case, but this will be possible to maintain at a relatively low level, since the larger areas of these electrodes.
- the distance between the positive and negative electrode plates could be varied but should preferably be about 1 mm.
- the distance between the negative electrodes could be varied depending on the necessary acid reservoir but should normally preferably b between about 1 and 5 mm.
