ABSTRACT:
A bipolar lead-acid is disclosed in which a conductive metal substrate is used for the bipolar plates which may comprise either a multi-layer metallic substrate defined as C/A/B/D, layer C having a layer of positive active material adhered thereto and layer D having a layer of negative active material adhered thereto, C can be lead or lead alloy or a conductive tin, titanium dioxide or ruthenium oxide, A is titanium or tin, B is copper or tin, and D is lead, a lead alloy or tin, or a conductive metal substrate-fiber or mesh composite in which the fiber may be glass fibers or the like. A preferred embodiment provides a bipolar lead-acid battery having enhanced capacity by utilizing a central bi-negative or bi-positive plate so that the capacity can be increased without increasing the size of the plates.
