The lead–acid battery was invented in 1859 by French physicist Gaston Planté and is the oldest type of rechargeable battery. Despite having a very low energy-to-weight ratio and a low energy-to-volume ratio, its ability to supply high surge currents means that the cells have a relatively large power-to-weight ratio. These features, along with their low cost, makes it attractive for use in motor vehicles to provide the high current required by automobile starter motors.
As they are inexpensive compared to newer technologies, lead–acid batteries are widely used even when surge current is not important and other designs could provide higher energy densities. Large-format lead–acid designs are widely used for storage in backup power supplies in cell phone towers, high-availability settings like hospitals, and stand-alone power systems. For these roles, modified versions of the standard cell may be used to improve storage times and reduce maintenance requirements. Gel-cells and absorbed glass-mat batteries are common in these roles, collectively known as VRLA (valve-regulated lead–acid) batteries.
This video of Working Principle of Lead Acid Battery is uploaded by www.electrical4u.com
Bill explains the essential principles of a lead-acid battery. He shows the inside of motorcycle lead-acid battery, removes the lead and lead-oxide plates and shows how they generate a 2 volt potential difference when placed in sulfuric acid. He explains how the build up of lead sulfate between the plates will make the battery unusable if it discharged completely, which leads him to a description of how to make a deep cycle battery used for collecting solar energy.

http://screwdecaf.cx/dp2.html Mikey shows how to clean, open, refill, desulfate and test a totally dead sealed lead acid battery. - UPS (Uninterruptible power supplies) - electric bicycles / skateboards - giant flash lights - etc.
I give a detailed tutorial on how to build a lead acid battery.
This video is to create awareness about Lead acid battery recycling. # Don't buy local made reconditioned batteries, which are made in unsafe environment. # Don't sell your battery to unauthorized battery dealers #Lead is dangerous and must be handled by professionals only.

Previous battery repair video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJdPTLZees0 well here is an abnormally long video detailing my process of restoring lead acid batteries. i may follow this up with a part two where i add epsom salt to the desulfated battery and see if the chemistry improves. first song and third song are from Jersey Devil for Playstation 1. 2nd song is from Ty The Tasmanian Tiger for the Playstation 2. 3rd song by C418 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvxH2w9jvNQ
