Abstract

A separator 100 is disposed between a positive electrode and a negative electrode in a lead acid storage battery including the positive electrode and the negative electrode, in which the separator 100 contains a glass fiber and an organic binder, the separator 100 includes a first layer 110 a that is in contact with the positive electrode, and a second layer 110 b that is in contact with the negative electrode, an average pore diameter of the first layer 110 a is larger than an average pore diameter of the second layer 110 b , and a thickness of the first layer 110 a is equal to or less than the half of the overall thickness of the separator 100.

Claims (42)

1. A lead acid storage battery comprising:
