Partial Report on Studies of Grid Alloys for Submarine Storage Batteries

Abstract

This report presents in summary form all pertinent facts drawn from previous work on special lead alloys for submarine storage batteries. The effect of various alloying constituents on the operational characteristics of pasted plates is discussed in detail and reasons given for the choice of alloys used in the current series. The method used in casting the grids is discussed and plans for facilitating future research are included, this report covering only such details as were involved in the manufacture of the grid; the results of physical and life testing will be the subject of another report. This is necessary since the results of life tests at the Bureau of Standards are not yet available.
