Patent ID: 8353089

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a paste-type electrode of lead-acid battery, comprising the steps of: filling a current collector with a paste-like active material to obtain a filled electrode when the current collector passes below a filler including a hopper for containing the paste-like active material; and pressing an electrode surface of the filled electrode during transfer of the filled electrode before the paste-like active material of the filled electrode is hardened, wherein: the pressing step comprises: a first pressing step of intensively pressing a first area of the electrode surface located on one side in a width direction that is perpendicular to a transfer direction in which the filled electrode is transferred and a perpendicular direction that is perpendicular to the electrode surface; a second pressing step of intensively pressing a second area of the electrode surface located on the other side in the width direction; and a third pressing step of pressing the first and second areas of the electrode surface over the entire width of the filled electrode, wherein: the first to third pressing steps are each performed at least once; and the pressing step is terminated by the third pressing step.
