2. Description of the Related Art A sealed lead-acid battery is provided with a positive electrode plate, a negative electrode plate and a separator. In particular, a sealed lead-acid battery having a structure in which a mat separator is impregnated with an electrolytic solution has improved adhesion between the mat separator and the electrode plate. In order to maintain the pressure, it is necessary to apply a pressure to the electrode group in the stacking direction, that is, a group pressure.
When the group pressure decreases, the capacity and life of the sealed lead-acid battery decrease.

[0003] Such a group pressure is usually applied to the electrode group by setting the dimension between the inner walls of the battery case smaller than the thickness of the electrode group in the laminating direction.

[0004] On the other hand, among the sealed type lead-acid batteries, especially for large industrial batteries, the same battery case is commonly used for several types of batteries having different capacities. In such a case, the thickness of the electrode group differs depending on the battery capacity, and if the electrode group is simply stored in the battery case as it is, a gap is generated between the electrode group and the inner wall of the battery case depending on the battery capacity. Group pressure cannot be applied to the plate group.

Therefore, conventionally, when accommodating electrode plates having various thicknesses in a battery case, a plate-shaped spacer has been used for the purpose of adjusting the thickness of the electrode plate group and the dimension between the inner walls of the battery case.

Since the spacer needs to maintain the electrode group pressure for a long period of time, for example, 10 years or more in an industrial sealed lead-acid battery, it is necessary to use a spacer having a high compressive strength in the thickness direction. For example, as described in JP-A-6-243889, when urethane foam or styrene foam is used as the material of the spacer, it is necessary to use a foam having a low expansion ratio, for example, about 12 times, in order to secure strength. is there.

On the other hand, when a foaming material having a relatively high foaming ratio of about 30 times or more is used, the required amount of foaming material is smaller than that of a low foaming ratio, but the electrode plate group pressure is reduced. However, there is a problem that it does not have a strength capable of maintaining the long term.

It is preferable in terms of cost to use a foaming member having a high expansion ratio as much as possible. In the case of a conventional styrofoam member, a foam member having an expansion ratio of about 12 times has been used. When the spacing member is constituted by the foam member alone as in the related art, the spacing member is easily subjected to compressive deformation by the group pressure when the expansion ratio is increased to 30 in the case of styrene foam. According to this, even if such a low-strength foam member is used, it is possible to form a spacing member that can withstand the electrode plate group pressure. Further, the porosity of the foamed member is high when the foaming ratio is high. For example, when the foaming ratio is 30 times, the foamed material is foamed to 30 times the original volume, so that the porosity = {(30 (volume after foaming) −1 (original volume)) / 30 (volume after foaming)} × 100 = 96.6%
As a result, the required amount of the foam member can be reduced, so that the space holding member can be configured at low cost.

It is preferable to use a foamed member having closed cells. This is because, when a foamed member having open cells is used instead of closed foaming, an electrolytic solution permeates the foamed member, so that an extra amount of the electrolytic solution is required.

The thickness of the member was adjusted. A pressure sensor was inserted between each of the batteries A, B, and C between the electrode group and the spacing member so that the electrode group pressure could always be measured.

With respect to these batteries A, B, and C, the electrode plate group pressure value, the remaining discharge capacity after being left in an atmosphere of 40 ° C. for 3 months in the charged state, and the recovery charge capacity after the recovery charge were measured. Discharge conditions are as follows: after leaving the battery in an atmosphere of 25 ° C,
A residual discharge capacity test in which 25 A constant current discharge was performed up to a discharge end voltage of 1.75 V was performed. As for the recovery charge, after the discharge at the constant current of 25 A, the constant voltage charge at 2.45 V (maximum current 50)
In A), the battery was charged for 12 hours. Thereafter, a recovery capacity test was performed under the same conditions as the residual discharge capacity test. The result is shown in FIG.
Shown in From the results shown in FIG. 4, the battery A of the present invention is superior in both the remaining capacity characteristic and the recovery capacity characteristic to the battery B of the conventional example, and the group pressure value of the battery B of the conventional example is slightly reduced. However, in the battery A of the present invention, the group pressure value hardly decreased. Further, in the battery C of the comparative example, the group pressure value was significantly reduced, and both the remaining capacity characteristics and the recovery capacity characteristics were significantly inferior to those of the battery A of the present invention. In addition, in the battery C of the comparative example, the capacity recovery from the remaining capacity due to the recovery charge was hardly recognized, and it is presumed that the reduction in the group pressure value significantly lowered the recovery capacity characteristics.

When the foaming ratio was changed in the structure of the battery C of the comparative example and the same standing test was performed as described above, when the foaming ratio became larger than 30 times, the reduction of the group pressure due to standing rapidly progressed. Therefore, it is preferable to use a foaming member 8 used in the present invention in a configuration in which such a foaming ratio exceeds 30 times. If such a foam member is used, an inexpensive sealed lead-acid battery with a small amount of foam material can be formed.
