The lead acid battery uses lead as the anode and lead dioxide as the cathode, with an acid electrolyte. The following half-cell reactions take place inside the cell during discharge: At the anode: Pb + HSO4– → PbSO4 + H+ + 2e–. At the cathode: PbO2 + 3H+ + HSO4– + 2e– → PbSO4 + 2H2O. Overall: Pb + PbO2 +2H2SO4 → 2PbSO4 + 2H2O.
