Lead-acid battery

Abstract

[Purpose] It is a purpose of the present invention to provide a lead-acid battery for use in idle reduction operation in which both excellent life characteristics and suppression of corrosion of negative-electrode grid ears are achieved by suppressing variations in SOC between cells. [Solution] A lead-acid battery including: a container in which a plurality of cells are linearly arranged; and a lid provided with a terminal. Plate packs provided in the cells are connected in series. One of electrode plates provided in the cells at both ends of the plurality of cells is connected to the terminal through a pole. The concentration of antimony contained in an electrolyte in each of the end cells is higher than that of each of the intermediate cells located between the end cells.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
