A bipolar storage battery includes a bipolar electrode including a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a bipolar plate provided with a positive electrode on one surface and a negative electrode on an other surface. The bipolar plate has a communication hole communicating the one surface and the other surface. A positive current collector and a negative current collector are electrically joined through the communication hole. A partition is provided in the space between an inner surface of the communication hole and a joint portion between the positive current collector and the negative current collector. This arrangement provides a bipolar lead-acid storage battery that prevents an electrolytic solution from reaching a negative electrode side as much as possible to greatly suppress the occurrence of liquid junction even when the electrolytic solution enters communication holes, so that the battery performance is less likely to deteriorate.

A liquid-type lead storage battery includes a positive electrode collector formed of a lead alloy having a rolled structure. A grid substrate of the collector has an upper frame bone located on the upper side and a lower frame bone located on the lower side, each extending laterally, and a pair of vertical frame bones extending vertically. A lug projects upward from a position shifted to the side close to either one of the pair of vertical frame bones from the longitudinal center of the upper frame bone. The intermediate bones have vertical intermediate bones from the upper to lower frame bone and lateral intermediate bones connecting the pair of vertical frame bones. At least one of the lateral intermediate bones has a cross-sectional area B larger than an average value A of the cross-sectional areas of the plurality of lateral intermediate bones, such that B/A is 1.15 or more.

The embodiments of the present application relate to an electrode sheet and a battery cell including the same. The electrode sheet according to an embodiment comprises an electrode sheet body and a plurality of tabs connected to the electrode sheet body. The width of each of the plurality of tabs is different from one another; or the length of each of the plurality of tabs is different from one another.
