Abstract
An additive for producing positive active compositions for lead accumulators based on finely divided 4-basic lead sulphate having an average particle size of less than about 3 μm and also finely divided silica, where the additive additionally contains red lead (2PbO.PbO), is described. The finely divided silica prevents, in particular, agglomeration of the particles of the 4-basic lead sulphate, while the red lead leads to an optimized distribution of all constituents of the additive in the battery paste. The use of red lead also gives a cost advantage. Despite the replacement of part of the 4-basic lead sulphate by red lead, the properties achieved in the later use in battery operation are no worse. Thus, the batteries display, for example, improved charging behavior and a higher high-current discharging stability. The invention further relates to the use of the additive according to at least one of claimstofor producing positive active pastes for lead accumulators, in particular for lead accumulators having a high total discharging stability.
