Page 12: Description And Operation
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 1. General A. Cell Construction: Concorde aircraft batteries are valve-regulated, recombinant gas, absorbed electrolyte, lead acid batteries. The cells are sealed with a pressure relief valve that prevents gases within the battery from escaping. The positive and negative plates are sandwiched between layers of glass mat consisting of glass micro fibers of varying length and diameter. - Page 13 CONCORDE BATTERY CORPORATION COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL RG-380E/44 H SERIES MAIN AIRCRAFT BATTERY D. Separators: The main separator material is made of glass microfibers and is commonly called absorptive glass mat (AGM). This material is extremely porous so it retains a high volume of electrolyte and provides a minimum of resistance to the ions passing through it.
