Battery lead, often referred to as lead-acid battery plates, is a critical component in lead-acid batteries, a common type of rechargeable battery. These plates are typically made of a lead alloy, which may include other metals like antimony or calcium to enhance performance. Lead-acid battery plates are designed with a grid-like structure to maximize surface area and facilitate the electrochemical reactions that occur during charging and discharging cycles. During discharge, lead sulfate forms on the plates, and during charging, this compound converts back to lead and lead oxide. This reversible process allows lead-acid batteries to be recharged multiple times. Battery lead plates play a crucial role in storing and delivering electrical energy for a wide range of applications, including automotive, industrial, and backup power systems.
