When a lead-acid cell is producing electricity (discharging) it is converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Discharging a lead-acid battery is a spontaneous redox reaction. When a single lead-acid galvanic cell is discharging, it produces about 2 volts. 6 lead-acid galvanic cells in series produce 12 volts.
