How Does a Lead-Acid Battery Work? To put it simply, the battery''s electrical charge is generated when the sulphate in the sulphuric acid becomes bonded to the lead. The electrical charge is replenished by reversing this reaction. That is, the sulphate goes back into the sulphuric acid and, thus, the battery is recharged. ... - Download [PDF]
