Abstract
Abstract There is disclosed a battery electrode structure made of a lead-calcium-tin alloy comprising 0.075 to 0.13% by weight calcium, 0.005 to 0.99% by weight tin and 0.0001% to 0.1% by weight aluminium, the balance being substantially lead.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
60 words
A battery electrode structure made of a lead-calcium-tin alloy consisting essentially of 0.081 to 0.099% by weight calcium, 0.4 to 0.7% by weight tin and 0.0001% to 0.1% by weight aluminum, the balance being substantially lead, said alloy having a Brinell hardness of at least 12, 2 days after casting to enable the alloy to be automatically trimmed and handled.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
60 words
A battery electrode structure made of a lead-calcium-tin alloy consisting essentially of 0.081 to 0.099% by weight calcium, 0.4 to 0.7% by weight tin and 0.0001% to 0.1% by weight aluminum, the balance being substantially lead, said alloy having a Brinell hardness of at least 12, 2 days after casting to enable the alloy to be automatically trimmed and handled.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
12 words
A battery electrode structure of claim 1 containing 0.003 to 0.006% aluminium.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
40 words
A battery electrode structure of claim 1 comprising 0.085 to 0.09% by weight calcium and 0.4 to 0.7% by weight tin and aluminum in an amount of 0.0001% up to less than 0.01% by weight, the balance being substantially lead.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
12 words
