How Lead Acid Battery Works Animation. A lead acid battery consists of lead electrodes immersed in a diluted solution of sulphuric acid known as an electrolyte. This is made of sponge lead.
This is made of sponge lead. During the battery recharge cycle lead sulfate sulfation begins to reconvert to lead and sulfuric acid. Heres how a traditional lead-acid battery works in laymans terms.
As the battery discharges both electrodes become coated with lead sulfate and the sulfuric acid is largely converted into water while electrons flow out around the external circuit to provide power.
As the battery discharges both electrodes become coated with lead sulfate and the sulfuric acid is largely converted into water while electrons flow out around the external circuit to provide power. How do they work. The positive grid consists of a lead alloy and is used to hold the active material and as a current collector. The process of sulfation of the thin layer is created on the negative plate which stops the process of charging.
