A new battery additive can help speed curing and improve battery life, without increasing capital cost to the manufacturer. Werner Nitsche and Ian Klein of Penox explain.
The positive plates in an SLI (Starting Lighting Ignition) lead-acid accumulator ("battery") are made from lead-alloy grids pasted with active material. The active material on the positive plates is mainly a mix of lead oxide and sulphuric acid. In order to achieve a porous structure with a high surface area for the electro-chemical process, the pasted positive plates undergo a curing process to transform the lead oxide . . .
