    Reaction on positive electrode (cathode):

    PbSO₄ (s₎ + 2H₂O (l₎ → 2e⁻ + PbO₂ (s₎ + 4H⁺ (aq₎ + SO₄²⁻ (aq₎.

    s - solid.

    l - liquid.

    aq - dissolve in water.

    PbSO4 is converted to Pb at one electrode (anode) and to PbO₂ at the other (cathode). Lead battery can be recharged, during recharging, an external source of energy is used.
