Abstract

An alkaline storage battery comprises a nickel positive electrode having nickel hydroxide as the main positive electrode active material, a hydrogen absorbing alloy negative electrode having a hydrogen absorbing alloy as the negative electrode active material, a separator, an alkaline electrolyte, and an outer can storing the nickel positive electrode, the hydrogen absorbing alloy negative electrode, the separator, and the alkaline electrolyte, and the hydrogen absorbing alloy is expressed by general formula La x Re y Mg 1-x-y Ni n-a M a (Re is at least one element selected from rare earth elements including Y, Re is not La, M is at least one element selected from elements other than Co and Mn), and the alkaline electrolyte contains at least one type of compound selected from a tungsten compound, a molybdenum compound, and a niobium compound, and in a system, the alkaline storage battery and a lead battery are connected in parallel.

First claim

1 . A storage battery system comprising:
a lead battery; and an alkaline storage battery being connected in parallel with the lead battery, wherein the alkaline storage battery and lead battery connected in parallel with each other are charged or discharged, further the alkaline storage battery comprising:
a nickel positive electrode having nickel hydroxide as the main positive electrode active material;
a hydrogen absorbing alloy negative electrode having a hydrogen absorbing alloy as the negative electrode active material;
a separator;
an alkaline electrolyte; and
an outer can storing the nickel positive electrode, the hydrogen absorbing alloy negative electrode, the separator, and the alkaline electrolyte,
wherein the hydrogen absorbing alloy is expressed by general formula La x Re y Mg 1-x-y Ni n-a M a (Re is at least one element selected from rare earth elements including Y, Re is not La, M is at least one element selected from elements other than Co and Mn), and
the alkaline electrolyte contains at least one type of compound selected from a tungsten compound, a molybdenum compound, and a niobium compound.

2 . The storage battery system according to claim 1 ,
wherein a mass of metallic element of the at least one type of compound selected from a tungsten compound, a molybdenum compound, and a niobium compound which the alkaline electrolyte contains, is 20 mg or more per the alkaline electrolyte 1 g, and 50 mg or less per the alkaline electrolyte 1 g.

3 . The storage battery system according to claim 1 ,
wherein an amount of sodium (Na) containing the alkaline electrolyte is 1.0 mol/L or more and 4.0 mol/L or less.

4 . The storage battery system according to claim 2 ,
wherein an amount of sodium (Na) containing the alkaline electrolyte is 1.0 mol/L or more and 4.0 mol/L or less.
