Abstract: The disclosure describes compositions and methods for producing a change in the voltage at which hydrogen gas is produced in a lead acid battery. The compositions and methods relate to producing a concentration of one or more metal ions in the lead acid battery electrolyte. The compositions include glass based compositions that are included as part of various battery components, such as the battery separator, pasting paper, additives to battery paste, etc.

Abstract: Battery separators and related methods are generally provided. The battery separators may include one or more fiber webs. In some embodiments, one or more fiber webs of the battery separator comprises a plurality of glass fibers wherein at least a portion of the glass fibers are fused. The fiber web(s) may include, for example, glass fibers having particular glass compositions (e.g., a particular Li2O content), and/or at least two different glass fibers having a minimum difference in softening temperatures. The one or more fiber webs may be designed to have desirable properties such as relatively high structural integrity (e.g., during acid filling of the battery such as in lead-acid batteries), enhanced separator stability, and/or enhanced wettability (e.g., wettability to acid) as compared to certain existing battery separators.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to filter media including glass fibers. The fiber characteristics (e.g., composition, dimensions) are selected to impart the desired solubility, filtration and mechanical properties so that the filter media may be used in the desired application.
