Abstract
The separator has a critical influence on the performance and life of the VRLA battery. It contributes directly to the discharge capacity and lifetime, and also has structural and chemical characteristics with implications well beyond physical separation of the plates. The study of the VRLA battery separator has formed an important part of the ALABC research programme, and this paper reviews the key outcomes of that research
