The lead acid battery is most commonly used in the power stations and substations because it has higher cell voltage and lower cost. The various parts of the lead acid battery are shown below. The container and the plates are the main part of the lead acid battery.
The equation should read downward for discharge and upward for recharge. The battery which uses sponge lead and lead peroxide for the conversion of the chemical energy into electrical power, such type of battery is called a lead acid battery. The container, plate, active material, separator, etc. are the main part of the lead acid battery.
The container stores chemical energy which is converted into electrical energy by the help of the plates. 1. Container – The container of the lead acid battery is made of glass, lead lined wood, ebonite, the hard rubber of bituminous compound, ceramic materials or moulded plastics and are seated at the top to avoid the discharge of electrolyte.
When the lead acid battery is discharging, the active materials of both the positive and negative plates are reacted with sulfuric acid to form lead sulfate. After discharge, the concentration of sulfuric acid in the electrolyte is decreased, and results in the increase of the internal resistance of the battery.
The nominal capacity of sealed lead acid battery is calculated according to JIS C8702-1 Standard with using 20-hour discharge rate. For example, the capacity of WP5-12 battery is 5Ah, which means that when the battery is discharged with C20 rate, i.e., 0.25 amperes, the discharge time will be 20 hours.
This comes to 167 watt-hours per kilogram of reactants, but in practice, a lead–acid cell gives only 30–40 watt-hours per kilogram of battery, due to the mass of the water and other constituent parts. In the fully-charged state, the negative plate consists of lead, and the positive plate is lead dioxide.

Technology: Lead-Acid Battery
There are two general types of lead-acid batteries: closed and sealed designs. In closed lead-acid batteries, the electrolyte consists of water-diluted sulphuric acid. These batteries have no gas-tight seal. Due to the electrochemical potentials, water splits into hydrogen and oxygen in a closed lead-acid battery.
