Investigation of height of electrolyte retention by glass-mat separators in gravitation field

One of the limitations to use glass felt separators (AGM type). in sealed rechargeable cells of high capacity and big height can be their inability to keep the uniform distribution of electrolyte by the height in the gravitation field. The influence of various factors (separator height, degree of its compression, electrolyte density) on separator ability to keep the initial uniform distribution of electrolyte has been investigated.
