First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A lead-acid battery comprising: a negative electrode plate; a positive electrode plate; and an electrolyte solution, wherein the negative electrode plate includes a negative electrode material containing graphite or carbon fiber, and a ratio N/P of a mass N of the negative electrode material to a mass P of a positive electrode material per lead-acid battery is 0.62 or more. 2 . The lead-acid battery according to claim 1 , wherein the negative electrode material contains barium sulfate. 3 . The lead-acid battery according to claim 1 , wherein the negative electrode material contains elemental barium. 4 . The lead-acid battery according to claim 2 , wherein the negative electrode material contains 1.2 mass % or more of barium sulfate. 5 . The lead-acid battery according to claim 1 , wherein the negative electrode material contains 0.7 mass % or more of elemental barium. 6 . The lead-acid battery according to claim 2 , wherein the negative electrode material contains 3.0 mass % or less of barium sulfate. 7 . The lead-acid battery according to claim 1 , wherein the negative electrode material contains 1.75 mass % or less of elemental barium. 8 . The lead-acid battery according to claim 1 , wherein the negative electrode material contains carbon black. 9 . The lead-acid battery according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio N/P is 0.95 or less. 10 . The lead-acid battery according to claim 1 , wherein the negative electrode material contains 2.5 mass % or less of graphite or 2.5 mass % or less of carbon fiber. 11 . The lead-acid battery according to claim 1 , wherein the graphite or the carbon fiber is graphite having an average particle size of 300 μm or less. 12 . The lead-acid battery according to claim 1 , wherein the graphite or the carbon fiber is graphite having an average particle size of 10 μm or more. 13 . The lead-acid battery according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte solution contains aluminum ions. 14 . The lead-acid battery according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte solution contains lithium ions. 15 . The lead-acid battery according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio N/P is 0.78 or less.
