How can the shedding of lead paste from battery plates be reduced?

To minimize lead paste shedding from battery plates, several factors can be optimized during manufacturing:

1. Assembly Pressure: Ensuring the right pressure between positive/negative plates and the AGM separator. Tighter compression reduces paste shedding by improving contact and stability.

2. Paste Formula: During charge-discharge cycles, the plates expand and contract. Adding specific additives to the paste helps reduce volume changes and enhances adhesion.

3. Curing Process: Proper control of humidity, temperature, and curing time during the plate formation process helps strengthen the paste structure and reduces shedding.
