Abstract

The plate of a storage battery such as a lead acid battery is made from a reinforcing plastic substrate on which a thin layer of active metal is formed. The plastic substrate is stronger than the thin metal layer so that size and weight reduction is possible with concurrent improvement of structural reliability and life expectancy.
