SEPARATOR FOR LEAD STORAGE BATTERY, AND LEAD STORAGE BATTERY
[OBJECT] The present invention aims to provide suitable workability of an envelope-shaped separator for a lead-acid battery. [SOLVING MEANS] Provided is a separator for a flooded lead-acid battery, the separator including a porous base part, side end parts arranged on width direction ends of the porous base part, and a central part interposed by the side end parts, wherein a first rib is arranged in the central part and second ribs are arranged in the side end parts, the first rib has a rib height greater than that of the second ribs, the ratio of the width (U) between both upper end parts to the rib height (H) of a rib width direction cross-section of the second ribs is 0.08 to 5.50 and the ratio of the width(S) between both lower end parts to the rib height (H) thereof is 0.13 to 6.50, the second ribs have radii of curvature ( 1, 2 ) at both upper end parts and both lower end parts of the rib width direction cross-section, and the radii of curvature ( 1, 2 ) are in the range of 0.005 to 0.350 mm.
1 . A separator for a flooded lead-acid battery, the separator comprising a porous base part, side end parts arranged on width direction ends of the porous base part, and a central part interposed between the side end parts, wherein:
a first rib is arranged in the central part and second ribs are arranged in the side end parts,
