When the battery is discharged, the lead plates are covered in lead sulfate. When the battery is recharged, the lead sulfate is converted back to lead plates and sulfuric acid.<\/p>\n<p>The lead acid battery is charged by applying a voltage to the battery terminals. The voltage causes a current to flow through the battery, which causes the lead plates and sulfuric acid to react and create electricity. The amount of current that flows through the battery depends on the voltage and the resistance of the battery.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Know_the_Chemical_Reaction_for_Recharging_a_Battery\"><\/span>Know the Chemical Reaction for Recharging a Battery.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The chemical reaction for recharging a battery is the transfer of electrons from the battery to the external circuit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>lead-acid-battery Lead acid batteries are the most common type of battery.
