Current Collector
A component of an electrode to which the paste-like active material for the chemical reaction adheres.
The current collector gives stability to the active material and conducts the current to the outside. In lead-acid batteries it consists of pure lead or lead alloys.
The current collector forms a plate together with the active material.
If one speaks of grid plate, tube plate etc., strictly speaking it is about the shape of the current collector.
