Battery Plate Separator

Battery plate separators are components used in batteries to separate the positive and negative plates. They are typically made of materials such as rubber, plastic, or fiberglass, and are designed to prevent the plates from touching each other, which could cause a short circuit. The separators allow the electrolyte to flow freely between the plates, facilitating the chemical reactions that generate electrical energy in the battery. These separators are part of the miscellaneous battery retaining fixtures, liners, and ancillary items category within the supply group of electric wire, power, and distribution equipment.
