Electric car battery. Lead-acid battery (green with white caps) used to power an electric car. The battery is made of electric cells. Each cell has a lead metal negative electrode,a lead oxide positive electrode and an ion-carrying solution (electrolyte) between them of sulphuric acid. An electric current is generated as the electrodes chemically react with the acid. The battery can be recharged by applying a reverse current from the mains. Lead-acid batteries are cheap to make,but their power output runs down more quickly than some other types of battery.
