The Manufacturing Process of a Lead-Acid Battery

What is a Lead-Acid Battery? A lead-acid battery is a type of rechargeable battery used in many common applications such as starting an automobile engine. It is called a “lead-acid” battery because the two primary components that allow the battery to charge and discharge electrical current are lead and acid (in most case, sulfuric acid). Lead-acid batteries were invented in 1859 by Gaston Plante̒, a French physicist. Despite this being the first example of a rechargeable battery, the original basic design...

What is Battery Formation?

What does “Battery Formation” Mean? Battery formation is that step in battery production where the battery is prepared to receive an electrical charge and then charged or formed. The forming process is critical to the performance and lifespan of a battery. But as we will describe, it involves far more than simply connecting the battery to a power supply. Battery formation occurs after the positive and negative plates have been produced. It can be performed with the plates installed in the...

What is an AGM Battery? Why is Everyone Talking About Them?

What is an AGM Battery? Lead-acid batteries have not changed very much since they were invented by Gaston Plante̒ 150 years ago. The reason is simple. When something works so reliably and yet is inexpensive, there is little reason to tamper with its success. Except for a few tweaks in case improvement and construction over the years, the lead-acid battery still consists of: Positive and negative lead plates arranged into cells and interconnected to battery posts Sulfuric acid electrolyte solution Battery...

Master of Masters

Mr. Zeki Sariçam - Molding Production - 1976 Mr.Zeki Sarıçam, a leader in the machinery production for the battery sector with his know-how and broad experience, started manufacturing molds in 1968. Having founded Sarıçam Kalıpçılık in 1975 to provide grid molds for battery manufacturers, Mr.Zeki Sarıçam developed some projects, which resulted in the manufacture of the first Grid Casting Machine in 1980, followed by the first Casting Machine in 1983. Thanks to the quality standards and the wide range of machinery he...
