✦ Synopsis

The construction and characteristics of a new sealed, automotive lead/acid battery are discussed and results from two years of field testing are presented. The starved-electrolyte design has virtually the same initial performance as a conventional flooded-electrolyte counterpart of the same size. A longer life is obtained, however, at low temperatures. The sealed batteries have generally exhibited good performance in field tests but there is a small decline in the operational characteristics at high temperatures and/or high voltage charging conditions.
