In the early days of lead–acid battery manufacture, an electrochemical process was used to form the positive active-material from cast plates of pure lead. Whereas this so-called ‘Planté plate’ is still in demand today for certain battery types, flat and tubular geometries have become the two major designs of positive electrode.
Positive electrodes are usually of pasted plate or tubular construction. Tubular electrodes are popular positive plates for heavy cycling applications. This construction uses a frame structure consisting of a series of vertical spines connected to a common bus.
Most positive electrodes are flat plates and are employed in all starter batteries. The principal failure modes of the positive material are sulfation and premature capacity loss (PCL). In recent years, considerable progress has been made in enhancing the cycling performance of the positive plate.
The negative and positive lead battery plates conduct the energy during charging and discharging. This pasted plate design is the generally accepted benchmark for lead battery plates. Overall battery capacity is increased by adding additional pairs of plates. A pure lead grid structure would not be able to support the above framework vertically.
There are three types of positive electrodes: Planté, tubular and flat plates. The Planté design was used in the early days of lead–acid batteries and is still produced today for certain applications. Tubular plates are chosen for heavy cycling operations. Most positive electrodes are flat plates and are employed in all starter batteries.
In the charged state, the positive active-material of the lead–acid battery is highly porous lead dioxide (PbO 2). During discharge, this material is partly reduced to lead sulfate. In the early days of lead–acid battery manufacture, an electrochemical process was used to form the positive active-material from cast plates of pure lead.
