According to the patent, the separator has microporous regions of PE and PP. On heating in an oven, the impedance of the separator increases near the melting point of PE and the impedance remains high until beyond the melting point of PP. However, battery performance data have not been presented.
The types and properties of separators used for lead–acid batteries are reviewed. Attention is focused on the pocket-type polyethylene (PE) separator as this is widely used in present-day automotive batteries, i.e. in low-maintenance batteries with expanded lead–calcium grids.
Polyethylene can be used also as enveloped separators around either the positive or the negative plate. The use of “envelope” separators is popular in small, sealed cells, SLI, motive power, and standby batteries to facilitate production and to control lead contamination during manufacturing. Rechargeable Batteries, Separators for.
Polyvinylchloride (PVC) and polyethylene (PE) separators have been the most commonly used separators in automotive batteries for the last 20 years. Polyethylene separators have a narrow pore-size distribution. The PVC separator is built up by sintering PVC powder in general of a particle size ranging between 10 and 20 μm.
An improved PE separator has been developed by using a PE resin of high molecular weight. The resistance of the separator to attack by hot sulphuric acid is increased by a factor of 1.5. Batteries using the improved separator show a 40% increase in lifetime under the SAE 75 °C life-cycle test. 1. Introduction
Polyethylene separators have a narrow pore-size distribution. The PVC separator is built up by sintering PVC powder in general of a particle size ranging between 10 and 20 μm. The decrease of particle size in the sintered product is negligible compared to the particle size of the raw materials.
