## In current practice, there is a steady tendency for the increase of production of sealed lead/acid batteries using lead-calcium alloys. The mastering of these alloys is, however, difficult due to debilitating phenomena taking place, the main of which is the instability of alloy composition in t
In the manufacture of negative plates for the lead-acid battery it is customary to add to the lead oxide-sulphuric acid paste forming the active material approximately 0.3~o of a derivative of lignosulphonic acid. Such additives are generally termed expanders. It is claimed that this produces an imp
Corrosion of pasted and unpastcd grids and of different lead alloys has been investigated by means of weight loss measurements and electrochemical tests. Pasted grids were analysed after several days immersion in sulphuric acid of different densities in the range 1.10-1.32 g Some grids withdrawn fro
