。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, separators used in sealed lead-acid batteries of this type have mainly been mats made of glass fiber. Third
The figure shows a partially enlarged schematic diagram of a conventional separator. This separator is made of fine glass fibers 6 with a fiber diameter of about 1 μm and formed into a mat shape.

防いでいる。Sealed lead-acid batteries are designed to be lightweight and portable, meaning they limit the amount of electrolyte that can be used to prevent leakage even if the battery falls over. Therefore, the electrolyte is the positive electrode plate 7, the negative electrode plate 8,
8' and separator 9. For this reason, a slight decrease in electrolyte results in a significant deterioration in battery performance. Water decomposition occurs due to overcharging, but the oxygen gas generated from the positive electrode plate is absorbed by the negative electrode plate and reduced to water, and this reaction suppresses the generation of hydrogen gas from the negative electrode plate, causing water to decompose. Preventing the decline. This loss of oxygen gas in the negative electrode plate prevents deterioration in battery performance due to a decrease in the amount of liquid.

外部へ逃げる。Furthermore, when some abnormality occurs and the internal pressure of the battery rises above an allowable value, a safety valve 16 provided on the lid 12 of the battery case is activated to restore the normal internal pressure. That is, the gas pushes up the rubber valve 11 at the top of the through hole 13, and the lid part 1
It escapes to the outside through the exhaust hole 13' through the hollow part 14 provided in the interior of the exhaust hole 13'.

劣下をひきおこす。Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such a conventional configuration, there is a problem in that the separator shrinks when charging and discharging cycles are repeated. That is, due to charging and discharging, the positive electrode becomes pbso p
To bo, the negative electrode repeats the form change of pbso, pb4 ← 2 and changes in volume, but since the dimensions of the battery case are constant, the force applied to the separator becomes stronger or weaker. Moreover, the separator is just a tangle of fine glass fibers, and once it has shrunk, it is difficult to restore, so it gradually shrinks and shrinks as the cycle goes on, making it thinner. When the separator shrinks and becomes thinner, the contact between the positive electrode plate and the separator and the negative electrode plate and the separator becomes poor, causing an increase in internal impedance and deteriorating battery performance even though the amount of electrolyte has not decreased. Raise the bottom.
本発明はこのような問題点を解決するもので、充・放電

パレータは膨らもうとする傾向にあり、極板群は常に一
定の力で加圧されていることとなる。Function: With this configuration, the electrode plates will not loosen even if the battery is repeatedly charged and discharged. In other words, if a mat body made only of fine glass fibers continues to be pressurized while absorbing liquid, the thickness will shrink due to the misalignment between the fibers, and the electrode plate group will become loose.However, as in the present invention, the separator is made of glass fibers. and a substance that swells when it absorbs liquid, the separator tends to expand due to the swellable substance even if it is pressurized in a liquid-absorbing state, and the electrode plate group always has a constant force. This means that it is pressurized.
