1.0 Introduction, continued
1
Low-pressure, flame-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
Horizontal pockets; formed by perforated steel
strips containing the active material.
5
Electrode frame; Comprised of electrode edge
and side bars. Seals the plates and serves as a
current collector
6
Fiber mat separator; special separator
insulates the plates and improves the internal
recombination.
