Lead-acid batteries rely primarily on lead and sulfuric acid to function and are one of the oldest batteries in existence. At its heart, the battery contains two types of plates: a lead dioxide (PbO2) plate, which serves as the positive plate, and a pure lead (Pb) plate, which acts as the negative plate. With the plates being submerged in an electrolyte solution made from a diluted form of

Recycling helps recover valuable materials such as lead and plastic, reducing the environmental impact associated with battery disposal. Many battery retailers and automotive shops accept used lead-acid batteries for recycling.
Customer ServiceThe battery consists of two lead plates, one coated with lead dioxide and the other with pure lead, immersed in an electrolyte solution of sulfuric acid and water. When the battery is charged, a chemical reaction occurs that converts the lead dioxide into lead sulfate and the pure lead into lead sulfate as well. This process releases electrons, which are stored in the

Customer ServiceCompared with other battery chemistries, the electrode reactions of the lead–acid cell are unusual in that, as described above, the electrolyte (sulfuric acid) is also one of the reactants. In fact, the decrease in the electrolyte concentration (or ''relative density'', rel. dens. – traditionally termed ''specific gravity'', sp. gr.) is a convenient means for determining the degree
Customer ServiceLead–acid batteries may be flooded or sealed valve-regulated (VRLA) types and the grids may be in the form of flat pasted plates or tubular plates. The various constructions have different technical performance and can be adapted to particular duty cycles. Batteries with tubular plates offer long deep cycle lives.
The use of lead acid battery in commercial application is somewhat limited even up to the present point in time. This is because of the availability of other highly efficient and well fabricated energy density batteries in the market.
The lead-acid battery consists negative electrode (anode) of lead, lead dioxide as a positive electrode (cathode) and an electrolyte of aqueous sulfuric acid which transports the charge between the two. At the time of discharge both electrodes consume sulfuric acid from the electrolyte and are converted to lead sulphate.
If you connect two lead acid batteries together for loads only (somewhat difficult to achieve), the battery with the greater charge will try to charge the lower one. However, they will eventually stay equal but this will not last.
There are two major types of lead–acid batteries: flooded batteries, which are the most common topology, and valve-regulated batteries, which are subject of extensive research and development [4,9]. Lead acid battery has a low cost ($300–$600/kWh), and a high reliability and efficiency (70–90%) .
Pure lead is too soft to use as a grid material so in general the lead is hardened by the addition of 4 – 6% antimony. However, during the operation of the battery the antinomy dissolves and migrates to the anode where it alters the cell voltage. This means that the water consumption in the cell increases and frequent maintenance is necessary.
