You can't. All modern battery cases are heat sealed and will rarely come apart without being destroyed in the process.
Years ago, (back in the Model T days) there were battery rebuild shops as auto batteries were relatively expensive.{Here is a good site that has an old battery rebuild manual printed in the 1922.

These all but disappeared after WWII. Lead is highly regulated by the EPA. I have found no sources of new plates, separators, etc. either.

Do lead acid batteries contain platinum?
They have lead plates. When they wear out is when you replace the battery.
What has six wet cells made of lead and lead dioxide plates that are in sulfuric acid solution?
A flooded lead acid battery, such as an automotive battery.
Why is the chemical substances inside a flat battery different from a new battery?
The acid weakens over time and the lead plates get covered with deposits left by the interaction of the acid and electrons flow and the lead plates.
Is a lead calcium battery same as lead acid battery?
Lead Calcium battery is the same as lead acid battery. In the garden varieties of lead acid batteries the positive and negative plates are made of lead with a tiny percentage of antimony. Batteries with lead calcium alloy plates reduce problems of overcharging, water loss, outgassing and self-discharge and this is usually found in maintenance-free batteries.
What determines the electrical capacity for a lead acid battery?
The size of the battery plates and amount of electrolyte.
What is substance of battery?
Lead alloy and zinc plates in a sulfuric acid bath.
What does acid have to do with a wet cell battery?
The sulfuric acid in an automotive battery (the most common form of wet cell), is an electrolyte. As the battery discharges, the sulfuric acid reacts with the lead and lead oxide plates to form lead sulfate. When the battery is charging, the reaction is reversed.
Name the composition of the battery negative and positive plates in a typical lead acid battery?
Its all a load of poo.
What are the ingredients in a battery?
this factor depend upon the type of battery there are several type of batteries which are lead acid, Nickel Cadmium , Lithium Ion, etc for example the contains of lead acid battery is- Lead (Pb) and Acid basically H2so4 with water H2o and plates are made of Pb lead a
How lead acid batteries work?
A lead acid battery works by using different positive and negative plates with grids that sit together in electrolytes produced by diluted sulfuric acid. This converts the electric energy into potential chemical energy, and then back again.A 12 voltlead acid battery is actually made up of six identical 2 volt cells. Each cell contains lead plates of different compositions sitting in dilute sulphuric acid. Lead dioxide plates (linked to the positive terminal of the battery) react with the acid to form lead sulphate giving up electrons (leaving the plate positive). The pure lead plates (linked to the negative terminal of the battery) react with the sulphate ions to also form lead sulphate. The pure lead plates therefore supply two positive charges and so are left negative. The passage of electons from the lead oxide plates to the pure lead plates is the current of electricity generated by the cell which can be used.
Name the composition of the battery positive and negative plates in a typical lead acid battery?
The plates are separated by a fiberglass mat. The plates themselves are made of a lead alloy containing a percentage of either antimony, or calcium. The grids of the plates cross at right angles. the positive plates contain Lead Dioxide (PB02) and the negative plates contain Sponge Lead (PB).
What makes up a Car battery?
lead plates,acid,water and the outer plastic case
