The lead–acid cell can be demonstrated using sheet lead plates for the two electrodes. However, such a construction produces only around one ampere for roughly postcard-sized plates, and for only a few minutes. Gaston Planté found a way to provide a much larger effective surface area. In Planté''s design, the positive and negative plates were formed of two spirals of lead foil, separ
Common and Alternative Battery Chemistries
In starting service, lead-acid batteries can provide many thousands of shallow cycles. For applications requiring deep cycling capability, specially designed lead-acid batteries are required. There are also
