A method of continuously casting a lead alloy strip includes continuously supplying molten lead alloy to a tundish having a lip insert and containing a pool of molten lead alloy. The molten lead alloy is continuously supplied to the pool from a bath maintained at a temperature in the range of 575° to 750° F. The surface level of the molten alloy in the lip insert is controlled to produce a
by expansion, and continuous casting of battery grids in coils. Lead-antimony alloys cannot be processed into battery grids by these methods. Only a small number of manufactur-ers still use a lead-antimony alloy for battery grids. For these manufacturers, the alloy of choice is as follows: anti-mony (1.6%), arsenic (0.2%), tin (0.2%), and

2. Page 1 of 36 History of Lead acid Battery The French scientist Nicolas Gautherot observed in 1801 that wires that had been used for electrolysis experiments would themselves provide a small amount of "secondary" current after the main battery had been disconnected. In 1859, Gaston Planté''s lead–acid battery was the first battery that could be
