Formation efficiency of positive plates of a lead-acid battery

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6460744
; ;
This patent describes the manufacture of a lead-acid battery having cell elements including positive plates constructed of conductive grids with positive active precursor material applied thereto in paste form. The method is described of improving the formation efficiency of the positive plates comprising the step of exposing the surfaces of the plates to an ozone-enriched gas to convert a thin outer layer of the active precursor material to lead dioxide.
