Detailed Solution

Lead storage battery consists of lead anode and a grid of lead packed with lead oxide (PbO₂) as cathode, a 38% solution of H₂SO₄ is used as an electrolyte.

On charging the battery the reaction is reversed and PbSO₄(s) on anode and cathode is converted into Pb and PbO₂ respectively.

The charging reactions for lead storage battery are
${PbSO}_{4} + 2 e^{-} \to Pb + {SO}_{4}^{2 -} (cathode) {PbSO}_{4} + 2 H_{2} O \to {Pbo}_{2} + {SO}_{4}^{2 -} + 4 H^{+} + 2 e^{-} (anode)$
