LEAD STORAGE BATTERY FOR VEHICLE, AND VEHICLE PROVIDED WITH SAID LEAD STORAGE BATTERY

A vehicular lead storage battery according to the present invention includes a battery container provided with at least one cell chamber; and a cover plate 1 for covering an upper opening of the battery container. A guide path 8 for discharging gases within a cell chamber to the outside is formed in the cover plate 1. The guide path 8 includes a first guide portion 9B for horizontally guiding gases from the cell chamber; a second guide portion 9C connected to the first guide portion 9B to downwardly guide the gases from the first guide portion 9B; and a third guide portion 10A connected to the second guide portion 9C to horizontally guide the gases from the second guide portion 9C and discharge the gases from an exhaust vent 4K formed in the cover plate 1 to the outside. A corner portion 9K is formed by the first guide portion 9B and the second guide portion 9C, and a corner portion 10K is formed by the second guide portion 9C and the third guide portion 10A. The guide path 8 is formed so that the angle ¸ of a straight line L having internal contact with the two corner portions 9K and 10K from a horizontal line is greater than the maximum angle of inclination at which the inclined angle of a vehicle is maximum during driving on a sloping ground.
