The lead–acid battery is a type of rechargeable battery first invented in 1859 by French physicist Gaston Planté. It is the first type of rechargeable battery ever created. Compared to modern rechargeable batteries, lead–acid batteries have relatively low energy density. Despite this, they are able to supply high surge currents.
Lead–acid batteries were used to supply the filament (heater) voltage, with 2 V common in early vacuum tube (valve) radio receivers. Portable batteries for miners' cap headlamps typically have two or three cells. Lead–acid batteries designed for starting automotive engines are not designed for deep discharge.
Lead acid batteries are built with a number of individual cells containing layers of lead alloy plates immersed in an electrolyte solution, typically made of 35% sulphuric acid (H2SO4) and 65% water (Figure 1).
Acid burns to the face and eyes comprise about 50% of injuries related to the use of lead acid batteries. The remaining injuries were mostly due to lifting or dropping batteries as they are quite heavy. Lead acid batteries are usually filled with an electrolyte solution containing sulphuric acid.
2. Vented Lead Acid Batteries Vented lead acid batteries are commonly called “flooded”, “spillable” or “wet cell” batteries because of their conspicuous use of liquid electrolyte (Figure 2). These batteries have a negative and a positive terminal on their top or sides along with vent caps on their top.
