Abstract: Lead-acid batteries or cells, electrodes and bipolar plates for the same, and methods of manufacturing the same are provided. The lead acid batteries comprise a positive and/or negative electrode having a specific pore size diameter distribution. The pore size diameter distribution may comprise: a ratio of a volume of pores having a pore size diameter greater than 20 ?m to a total pore volume of at least 15%; or a volume of pores having a pore size diameter greater than 20 ?m of at least 0.020 ml/g.

Abstract: A simple locking latch arrangement is disclosed which maintains barbecue side shelves in the horizontal orientation. The latch arrangement is freely pivotal on pin members of the shelf and prevent upward removal of the pins unless the latch is moved to the release position.
