There are 3 main components to these batteries. Yes, it''s lead and and acid. Specifically, a solution of sulfuric acid, lead plates and lead oxide plates. Lead plates are the negative. Lead oxide makes the positive, as the oxygen atoms bound to the lead "lack" electrons (electrons have negative charge), thus is "less negative"= positive.

Overview. Lead–acid batteries, invented in 1859 by French physicist Gaston Planté, are the oldest type of rechargeable battery. Despite having a very low energy-to-weight ratio and a low energy-to-volume ratio, their ability to supply high surge currents means that the cells maintain a relatively large power-to-weight ratio.

You can perform maintenance on them much the same as you would any other wet cell battery, such as car batteries. In this instructable I will show you how to do this. What you will need: -Distilled water -Small straight screwdriver -superglue or hot glue
By design sealed lead acid batteries are, by their very nature, sealed. This means that if they have been damaged by ovecharging and have dried out then it is problematic to restore them. Ironically it is possible to do this damage in the first place because they aren't completelysealed. There is a rubber cap on top of each cell.
In the highly charged state, a lead acid battery will revert to lead and sulphuric acid, only becoming lead sulphate when discharged. It's quite difficult to photograph the inside of the cells but the photo below is good enough to see that there is no liquid above the plates.
1/ Remove the cover on the top of the battery using a small straight screwdriver. 2/ You will find little rubber or plastic caps on the individual cells of the battery, remove these. 3/ Using your pipette or syringe, fill the cells of the battery until the lead plates inside the battery are submerged, you will be able to see through the hole.
