Title: Lead oxide as used in lead acid storage batteries, part two

Conference · · Battery Man; (United States)
OSTI ID:5040426

Without oxide controls, the battery manufacturing business can become one of the most confusing and frustrating experiences known. Inexplicable things happen during mixing, pasting and assembly, and testing, in the laboratory or in the field becomes an unhappy event. Almost any oxide of sufficient purity can be processed to make a good battery, but the characteristics must be known to be able to process it right, and once the process has been established, the oxide must be uniformly made to make the resulting batteries uniformly good. Fortunately, the tests required to assure uniformity are few, and simple to perform. Assuming pure pig lead from primary sources or from carefully refined secondary sources, three tests can tell the whole story. These tests are described.
