Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of storage batteries, and in particular relates to a colloid valve-regulated storage battery with an isolation cover. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of power and communications technologies, valve-regulated batteries (VRBs) have become indispensable energy storage components in these fields due to their unique advantages, such as requiring no frequent watering and maintenance and being able to be installed horizontally. Gel-valve-regulated batteries, in particular, utilize a "quasi-flooded" design, significantly improving energy density, cycle life, and safety compared to traditional lean-liquid VRBs. Consequently, they are widely used in power stations, communications base stations, and other locations.

[0003] However, in practice, colloidal valve-regulated batteries are often installed in horizontal layers to save valuable space and facilitate subsequent installation and maintenance. However, this installation method also introduces new problems. When the battery transitions from an upright position to a horizontal position, gravity forces the colloidal electrolyte in the upper electrode group to accumulate at the battery port, forming an accumulation. This accumulation can not only clog the safety valve and affect the battery's automatic venting function under abnormal conditions (such as overcharging or overheating), thereby increasing the risk of explosion or leakage, but can also partially or completely expose the busbars at the top of the battery, depriving them of the protective and insulating properties of the colloidal electrolyte, further reducing the battery's service life and safety. The battery charging process generates a certain amount of heat, which, especially under high summer temperatures, cannot be dissipated quickly. This increases the battery's water loss rate, accelerates grid corrosion, and shortens the battery's service life.

[0004] Furthermore, during the charging process of valve-regulated batteries, especially during rapid charging or after deep discharge, gases and a small amount of acid mist are generated inside the battery. The release of these gases and acid mist not only pollutes the environment but also affects the reliability and safety of the battery. Utility Model Content
