In a preferred method, an electrode for a lead-acid battery is prepared in a new continuous process without the conventional curing step. The general procedure for preparing electrodes includes preparing a mixture (paste) comprising an active material precursor and an inhibitor. The active material precursor includes lead oxides having at least 10% by weight lead oxide in the form of Pb3O4 (red lead), and a BET surface area of at least about 0.8 m2/gram; desirably about 1.00 to 1.50 m2/gram and preferably about 1.0 to 1.25 m2/gram. The inhibitor prevents formation of tribasic lead sulfate and tetrabasic lead sulfate from the precursor material except at elevated temperature. The paste is …

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 17, 1993 and granted December 28, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended June 17, 2013.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 17, 2015.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
