LEAD STORAGE BATTERY

A flooded-type lead acid storage battery in which charging is intermittently carried out in a short period of time and high-efficiency discharge to a load is carried out in a partial state of charge, wherein the charge acceptance and service life characteristics are improved by using a positive plate in which the specific surface area of the active material is set to 6 m 2 /g or more; a negative plate with improved charge acceptance and service life performance obtained by adding a carbonaceous electrically conductive material, and a bisphenol aminobenzenesulfonic acid formaldehyde condensate to the negative active material; and a separator formed from a nonwoven in which the surface facing the negative plate is composed of material selected from glass, pulp, and polyolefin.
