1.1 Features
1
Low-pressure, fl ame-arresting vent; prevents
carbonate formation.
2
Safety terminal; Redundant leak protection
minimizes carbonate formation.
3
Electrode edge; connected to pole bolt via
hardware for high mechanical stability
4
Electrode frame; Comprised of electrode edge
and side bars. Seals the plates and serves as a
current collector Horizontal pockets; formed by
perforated steel strips containing the active mate-
rial.
5
Corrugated, perforated plastic separator.
Insulates the plates and allows the free circulation
of electrolyte.
6
Fiber mat separator; special separator
insulates the plates and improves the internal
recombination.
7
Distance Plate; Prevents movement of the
electrode pack.
