Abstract:
1. A battery grid comprising: a top element, a bottom element, a first side element, and a second side element defining a frame; a plurality of grid wires provided within the frame and defining a plurality of open areas, including a plurality of first vertical grid wires extending from the top element to the bottom element, each of the first vertical grid wires intersect a plurality of linear horizontal grid wires which continuously extend between the first side element and second side element, wherein between each consecutive first vertical grid wires, at least one second vertical grid wire which continuously extends from the top element, contacts a plurality of linear horizontal grid wires, but terminates prior to reaching the bottom element, and at least one third vertical grid wire continuously extends from the bottom element, contacts a plurality of linear horizontal grid wires, but terminates prior to reaching the top element, wherein the second and third vertical grid wires do not directly contact one another and are asymmetrically distributed about the battery grid; and a current collection lug coupled to the top element.
