A car battery is a lead-acid battery. It consists of a series of lead plates immersed in an acidic solution. When the engine is running, the alternator charges the battery, which provides power to the starter motor and other electrical accessories. When the engine is not running, the battery provides power to these same accessories.

Lead-acid cells are made up of a positive plate (made of lead dioxide) and a negative plate (made of pure lead). These plates are separated by an electrolyte (a solution of sulfuric acid and water). When the engine is running, the alternator charges the battery, causing a reaction between the lead and lead dioxide on the positive plate.

Learn MoreThe positive active-material of lead–acid batteries is lead dioxide. During discharge, part of the material is reduced to lead sulfate; the reaction is reversed on charging. There are three types of positive electrodes: Planté, tubular and flat plates.
This results in increase of superficial area by a large extend. The main feature of construction of lead acid battery is to accommodate a large volume of active materials i.e. PbO 2 in active plate. Positive plates are usually produced by Plante Process and the plates are known as Plante Plates.
The negative lead acid battery plates are made by same process. It is seen that since active material on a Plante plate consists of a thin layer of PbO 2 formed on and from the surface of the lead plate, it must be desirable to have a large superficial area in order to get an appreciable volume of it.
In the early days of lead–acid battery manufacture, an electrochemical process was used to form the positive active-material from cast plates of pure lead. Whereas this so-called 'Planté plate' is still in demand today for certain battery types, flat and tubular geometries have become the two major designs of positive electrode.
Lead Dioxide (PbO2): Lead dioxide is the positive plate material in lead acid batteries. It undergoes a chemical reaction during the charging and discharging processes. This compound plays a crucial role in the battery's ability to store and release electrical energy.
A lead-acid battery has three main parts: the negative electrode (anode) made of lead, the positive electrode (cathode) made of lead dioxide, and an electrolyte of aqueous sulfuric acid. The electrolyte helps transport charge between the electrodes during charging and discharging.
