US Patent:

7517370, Apr 14, 2009
Filed:

Oct 21, 2004
Appl. No.:

10/576427
Inventors:

Ralph A. Petersen - West Allis WI, US
Ross A. Henning - Colgate WI, US
Assignee:

Johnson Controls Technology Company - Holland MI
International Classification:

H01M 10/04
B05D 5/12
US Classification:

296235, 4271261, 4271265, 141 11
Abstract:

A method of making a battery plate includes mixing particles of tetrabasic lead sulfate with leady oxide to form a paste material. The particles have an average spherical particle diameter of less than 2. 5 micrometers. The method also includes providing at least a portion of the paste material on a battery grid curing the battery grid and paste material at a temperature of less than approximately 48 degrees Celsius to produce a battery plate having a cured paste thereon.

US Patent:

20020026252, Feb 28, 2002
Filed:

May 15, 2001
Appl. No.:

09/858175
Inventors:

William Wruck - Whitefish Bay WI, US
Ronald Miles - Whitefish Bay WI, US
Ralph Petersen - West Allis WI, US
Arlen Walker - Milwaukee WI, US
International Classification:

G06F017/00
US Classification:

700/090000, 707/102000, 700/236000
Abstract:

A computer system for vehicle battery selection based on vehicle operating conditions is disclosed. The computer system allows a user to obtain a prediction of vehicle battery service life when the user inputs a battery, a vehicle in which the battery will be installed and driving habits, and a geographic region in which the vehicle will be operated.

US Patent:

56269862, May 6, 1997
Filed:

Oct 12, 1995
Appl. No.:

8/542288
Inventors:

Carl D. Jahns - Franklin WI
Peter J. Lex - Wauwatosa WI
Ralph A. Petersen - West Allis WI
Assignee:

ZBB Technologies, Inc. - Wauwatosa WI
International Classification:

H01M 462
US Classification:

429210
Abstract:

A carbon coating including carbon particles having a predetermined size and BET surface area. The carbon coating is applied to electrodes used in batteries. The electrodes may include a nonconductive frame defining at least one aperture and at least one carbon plastic sheet which is borne by the frame and disposed in occluding relation relative to the aperture. The carbon coating is applied to one surface of the carbon plastic sheet.

US Patent:

50966111, Mar 17, 1992
Filed:

May 25, 1989
Appl. No.:

7/357007
Inventors:

Ralph A. Petersen - West Allis WI
Conrad E. Weinlein - Mequon WI
Assignee:

Globe-Union Inc. - Milwaukee WI
International Classification:

H01M 488
H01M 456
H01B 106
US Classification:

2521821
Abstract:

A process for making a battery paste includes steps of forming an active material in an aqueous slurry, then dewatering the slurry to form a battery paste. In one described embodiment, a slurry containing one or more basic lead sulfates suitable for use as the active material in lead-acid battery electrodes is formed in a continuously stirred tank reactor (36). The slurry is withdrawn from the reactor (36) and fed to a belt press (67) which reduces the moisture content of the slurry to the desired level. Battery pastes produced according to the invention may be fed continuously to a paster (89) for mass production of positive and negative battery plates from grids (91).

US Patent:

53024761, Apr 12, 1994
Filed:

Dec 3, 1990
Appl. No.:

7/624720
Inventors:

Wen-Hong Kao - Brown Deer WI
Norma K. Bullock - Pewaukee WI
Ralph A. Petersen - West Allis WI
Assignee:

Globe-Union Inc. - Milwaukee WI
International Classification:

H01M 488
US Classification:

429228
Abstract:

An electrode suitable for use as a lead-acid battery plate is formed of a paste composition which enhances the performance of the plate. The paste composition includes a basic lead sulfate, a persulfate and water. The paste may also include lead oxide and fibers. An electrode according to the invention is characterized by good strength in combination with high power density, porosity and surface area.
