The plate group 3 is mounted on the bottom saddle 4. The battery case 1 is filled with electrolyte 5. The battery case 1 is sealed with the battery cover 2, and the safety valve 6 is installed on the battery cover 2.

[0028] The electrode group 3 includes a positive electrode post 7, a negative electrode post 8, a positive electrode bus 9, a negative electrode bus 10, a positive electrode plate 11, and a negative electrode plate 12.

The positive electrode bus 9 and the negative electrode bus 10 are welded to the tabs 14 of the positive electrode plate 11 and the negative electrode plate 12, respectively. The negative electrode plate 12 adopts an existing plate structure, while the positive electrode plate 11 adopts a novel paste-coated bagged electrode plate.

[0029] like Figure 4As shown, the paste-coated bagged electrode plate comprises a positive plate 13, a glass felt cloth 17, and a bag-type separator 18. The positive plate 13 is wrapped with a layer of glass felt cloth 17, and the positive plate 13 wrapped with the glass felt cloth 17 is sleeved in the bag-type separator 18. The glass felt cloth 17 is a non-woven fabric formed by interweaving glass fiber filaments into a net shape and then solidifying with a resin binder. The size of the glass felt cloth 17 is cut according to actual requirements. The positive plate 13 is composed of a tab 14, a positive grid 15, and a positive active material 16.

The positive grid 15 is made of high-tin lead-calcium alloy by high-pressure casting, which has small heat generation, high corrosion resistance, low internal resistance, and small self-discharge.

[0030] The bag-type separator 18 is a hollow bag structure with an open upper end and closed lower end and two sides. As a preferred embodiment, the bag-type separator 18 is a rectangular hollow bag with an open upper end.
