lead acid
Car battery chemistry
Lead acid describes a type of rechargeable battery that uses lead plates and sulfuric acid to store electrical energy.
Invented in 1859, lead-acid batteries remain the standard for starting car engines and providing backup power: The mechanic said the lead-acid battery needed replacing.
Despite being heavy and less efficient than newer technologies, they're reliable and inexpensive.
