Figure 18.14 Correlation between the acid concentration in percent, mol/l or density and the equilibrium<br />

potential of the negative and positive electrodes and the cell potential. The graphs allow converting each<br />

value to the other<br />

decreases more rapidly in sealed batteries during discharge than in flooded batteries. This<br />

must be taken into account, if the voltage is used as an SOC indicator.<br />

Today, two different plate technologies are commonly used. The most common<br />

type of plate is the flat plate (Fauré type). The porous active mass is applied to the hard<br />

lead grid as a paste. The flat plate is simple and cheap to produce. The so-called tubular<br />

plates 10 are also widespread. A central lead rod, surrounded by active material, is inserted<br />

into a protective tube that is permeable to the electrolyte. A plate then consists of a row<br />

of adjacent tubes. While flat-plate electrodes have lower internal resistance and therefore<br />

higher specific power than tubular plates, the latter show more cycles in their lifetime.<br />

Manufacturing of tubular plates is more expensive than the manufacturing of flat plates.<br />

Figure 18.15 shows schematics of a flat-plate and a tubular-plate electrode. Currently,<br />

wounded lead cells come into the market consisting of a thin lead foil pasted with active<br />

material and with a very thin glass-mat separator between the electrodes. These batteries<br />

10 Tubular-plate electrodes are not very common in North America. Traditionally, tubular-plate batteries are<br />

more popular in Europe for cycling applications like, for example, fork-lift trucks.
