Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the cracking or breaking of a strap part by connecting the ear part of a grating body consisting of a Pb-Ca-Sn alloy by a strap formed out of a Pb-Sn-At alloy having a specified composition. CONSTITUTION:In a lead-acid battery, the ear part of a grating body formed of a Pb-Ca-Sn alloy consisting of Ca; 0.05-0.1wt.%, Sn; 0.2-2.0wt.%, and the remainder Pb is connected by a Pb-Sn-Al alloy consisting of Sn; 0.5-2.5%, Al; 0.005-0.05%, and the remainder Pb to form a strap. When crystal grains are precipitated from the solution state of the Pb-Sn-At alloy and the Pb-Ca-Sn alloy, Al acts on the crystal nucleus to grow fine crystal grains. Therefore, the crystal grains constituting the strap are fine and minute, making an electrolyte and the oxygen in the air difficult to penetrate into the grain boundary of the strap, and the formation of PbSO4 in the grain boundary can be suppressed.
