Abstract: A liquid lead storage battery includes a negative electrode plate, a positive electrode plate and an electrolyte solution. The both plates are arranged so as to face each other in a thickness direction and immersed in the electrolyte solution. The negative electrode plate includes an active material containing carbon. An elastic sheet formed of a porous material is arranged between the negative electrode plate and the positive electrode plate so as to press the negative electrode plate from both sides in the thickness direction.

The average length of the fibrous carbon is 1 ?m or more, and the content thereof is 0.02% by mass or more and 1.2% by mass or less based on the mass of negative active material. The average particle size of the graphite is 20 ?m or more, and the content thereof is 0.02% by mass or more and 2.0% by mass or less based on the mass of negative active material.

Abstract: A grid for a battery plate is made by forming a metal sheet is formed into a grid-like shape. Rupture due to torsion or stress concentration does not occur in a basal portion of a wire which is drawn out from a node of the grid, thereby preventing corrosion due to electrolyte from advancing so as not to cause a crack of corrosion in an early stage. The invention provides also a battery using the grid for a battery plate, a method of producing the grid for a battery plate, and a battery using it.

Abstract: A method where two disk cutter rolls are used to form slits in a staggered pattern in a metal sheet; disk cutters are part of the disk cutter rolls; ridges are arranged in a peripheral edge of the disk cutters; and valleys are arranged between the ridges, where an axis-to-axis distance L (mm) of the rolls satisfies a relationship of 2r?0.3?L<2r when a radius of a reference circumferential face made with the valleys is r (mm). The method can include a carrying procedure for passing the sheet between the rolls, then carrying the sheet along a peripheral face of one of the rolls, and then pulling out the sheet from the peripheral face.

Abstract: A storage battery is provided in which an expand grid is improved with respect to the widths of grid wires 1b, the sectional areas of nodes 1e, and the shapes of meshes 1c, whereby the productivity of the expand grid can be enhanced and the life performance can be improved.

Abstract: The method of producing a grid for a battery electrode plate is characteristic in that in producing a grid formed from a sheet by means of a rotary expander equipped with the disk cutter cluster with disk edge disk cutters, there is a notch that penetrates the outer periphery of the said edge disk cutter in the thickness direction of the said edge disk cutter.
