Abstract
A lead-acid battery having a reliable exhaust structure suppressing unexpected leakage of acid mist and gas to outside the battery. The battery having a first gas exhaust path A for guiding gas generated in a plate pack from a cell compartment to a recess formed in a cover. A top lid is placed on the top surface of the cover to extend over the recess. The top lid and the cover form a closed shape so that the recess and the top lid form an exhaust chamber. A through hole for establishing communication between a first opening formed in the recess and a second opening formed in the outer surface of the cover, serves as a second gas exhaust path B which establishes communication with the first gas exhaust path A through the exhaust chamber.
