Trends for VRLA Battery Separators

The advantages and disadvantages of state-of-the-art AGM and gel separator technologies for VRLA batteries are given in Table 7.3. 

Much recent effort on separator development has been devoted to the optimization of existing products. Since the separator dictates the performance of 

Attempts to satisfy these requirements have involved several different development strategies  

All of these development concepts are described in the next section.
