ABSTRACT
The manufacturing processes used to produce various types of lead-acid battery including starting, lighting, and ignition (SLI) batteries, traction batteries, and stationary batteries are similar. The lead-acid battery manufacturing process can be separated into eight major stages as follows:
1. Grid casting. Lead alloys are used for casting of the positive and negative grids as well as for small components (post, terminal posts, connectors, etc.). Highly automated and efficient casting machines are employed.
