A battery is an electrochemical device that converts stored chemical energy into electrical energy through a series of chemical reactions. It consists of one or more electrochemical cells connected in a series or parallel configuration. Each cell comprises two electrodes, namely the cathode (positive electrode) and the anode (negative electrode), separated by an electrolyte solution.

Positive: 𝑃𝑂2 + 4𝐻+ + 2𝑒– β‡Œ 𝑃𝑏2+ + 2𝐻2𝑂

Negative: 𝑃𝑏 β‡Œ 𝑃𝑏2+ + 2𝑒–

During the charging process, the active materials of the battery facilitate the conversion of lead sulfate back to its original form.

During the discharge process, a chemical reaction occurs within the battery, causing the anode to release electrons and the cathode to accept them. This creates an electrical current that can be utilized to power various devices. Simultaneously, the electrolyte facilitates the movement of ions between the electrodes to maintain charge balance.(12)
