  • Patent number: 10790501
    Abstract: A negative electrode material contains an organic anti-shrink agent which is soluble in water, and the organic anti-shrink agent, when extracted from the negative electrode material with an alkali aqueous solution, has an average particle size of not less than 0.1 ?m and not more than 9 ?m in sulfuric acid having a specific gravity of 1.25. A lead-acid battery includes a negative electrode plate containing an organic anti-shrink agent having a S element content of 4000 ?mol/g or more. The negative electrode contains 0.3 mg/cm3 or more of the S element in the organic anti-shrink agent.

  • Patent number: 10096862
    Abstract: A microporous acid-resistant resin separator has a total pore volume ratio of 55% or more and less than 75%. A negative electrode plate is made of an electrode material containing a bisphenol condensate. Thereby, a lead-acid battery can be obtained, which reduces the softening of a positive electrode material and has excellent low-temperature high rate discharge performance.
