Abstract
Abstract A sealed lead acid dipolar storage battery, in which one or more dipolar electrodes (11) consist of lead or lead alloy foils (13) or of other electroconductive material. The foils (13) are provided with a reticular print (14) for keeping a layer of positive active compound (15) on one side of the foil (13) and a layer of negative active compound (15) on the other side. The electrodes (11) are stacked one on top of the other so as to alternate the different polarities; a series of separators in microfiber glass with a high porosity are interposed between the electrodes (11) in series.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
93 words
A seal lead acid bipolar storage battery, characterized in that one or more bipolar electrodes consist of foils of electroconductive material, said foils being provided with a reticular print having a grid-like pattern for keeping a layer of positive active compound on one side of the foil and a layer of negative active compound on the other side; said electrodes being stacked one on top of the other so as to alternate the different polarities; a series of separators in microfiber glass with a high porosity being interposed between the electrodes in series.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
93 words
A seal lead acid bipolar storage battery, characterized in that one or more bipolar electrodes consist of foils of electroconductive material, said foils being provided with a reticular print having a grid-like pattern for keeping a layer of positive active compound on one side of the foil and a layer of negative active compound on the other side; said electrodes being stacked one on top of the other so as to alternate the different polarities; a series of separators in microfiber glass with a high porosity being interposed between the electrodes in series.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
A storage battery according to claim 1 characterized in that the reticular print has relief crests on either sides of the foil where the positive and negative active compounds are applied.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
A storage battery according to claim 1 characterized in that the relief crests on one surface are fitted displaced on half a pitch with respect to the opposite surface for stiffening the structure.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
64 words
A storage battery according to claim 1 characterized in that the reticular print on the foils determines a non imprinted-channel on the edges of the foils made for fitting a perimetral gasket for the sealing against the housing; wherein the gasket is mounted on the electrodes and determines and seals a plurality of water-tight cells containing the separators that are filled of electolythic liquid.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
A storage battery according to claim 1 characterized in that it is provided with a load compensator for maintaining the required pressure on the electrodes.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
18 words
A storage battery according to claim 5 characterized in that the load compensator consists of a polyurethanic plate.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
43 words
A storage battery according to claim 4 characterized in that the separators do not contact the respective perimetral channel for the introduction of the electrolyte and for allowing an easier filling also in the places that are more distance from the inlet valve.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
23 words
A storage battery according to claim 1 characterized in that it comprises a series of electrodes to reach voltages ranging between 4-500 volts.
