A method for leak-testing synthetic separators for interleaved planar electrodes is described. The method includes installing the separator such as a diaphragm or membrane about the electrodes to create an enclosed chamber within the separator, supporting the electrodes from a supportive cell housing, pressurizing the created chamber to a predetermined pressure with a gas, slowly filling the housing with a liquid to a level above the separator and observing the separator during the filling operation to determine if leaks are present in the separator.

A method for leak-testing synthetic separators for interleaved planar electrodes, which comprises the steps of: (a) attaching a supportive cell housing to said electrodes; (b) installing said synthetic separator sealingly about said electrodes so as to create an enclosed chamber within said separator; (c) pressurizing said chamber to a predetermined pressure with a gas; (d) slowly filling said housing with a liquid to a level above said separator so as to slowly immerse said separator in said liquid; and (e) observing said separator while maintaining said predetermined pressure within said chamber so as to determine if excessive amounts of said gas indicative of a leak are escaping through any portion of said immersed separator.
