The lead-acid battery comes in the category of rechargeable battery, the oldest one [1], [2].The electrode assembly of the lead-acid battery has positive and negative electrodes made of lead oxide (PbO 2) and pure leads (Pb).These electrodes are dipped in the aqueous electrolytic solution of H 2 SO 4.The specific gravity of the aqueous solution of H 2 SO 4 in the
The lead sulfate at the positive electrode is converted back into lead dioxide, and the lead sulfate at the negative electrode is converted back into lead. This process releases electrons, which flow through the external circuit and power the device. The chemical reactions that occur in a lead-acid battery can be summarized as follows: At the positive electrode:

5.2.1 Voltage of lead acid battery upon charging. The charging reaction converts the lead sulfate at the negative electrode to lead. At the positive terminal the reaction converts the lead to lead oxide. As a by-product of this reaction, hydrogen is evolved.
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.
Potential problems encountered in lead acid batteries include: Gassing: Evolution of hydrogen and oxygen gas. Gassing of the battery leads to safety problems and to water loss from the electrolyte. The water loss increases the maintenance requirements of the battery since the water must periodically be checked and replaced.
The positive active material is formed electrochemically from a cured plate, and influences the performance of the lead-acid battery. The electrolyte consists of a sulfuric acid solution, and as the battery discharges, the electrodes are converted into lead sulfate, which reverses when the battery is charged.
Damage to the electrodes. The lead at the negative electrode is soft and easily damaged, particularly in applications in which the battery may experience continuous or vigorous movement. Stratification of the electrolyte. Sulfuric acid is a heavy, viscous liquid.
