Abstract
Battery expanders are little understood additives to the lead acid battery. A brief history of their development is discussed in conjunction with a novel battery plate additive. The synthetic additive replaces or is used in addition to the normal organic expander in the negative plate. The additive adds strength to the plate making process, reducing scrap and reducing dust coming from the plates. As an organic expander, the additive appears to increase the life of the battery
