13 is negative plates.
Negative plates in the battery are naturally this dark color. A short between plates causes a discharge or equalization in potential which more or less is changing the positive plates and post to the color of the negative. The battery will become useless.

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).
Its all a load of poo.
The number of negative plates in a cell is always more than one of number of positive plates so that end plates at both sides of the group remain negative.
It worked by the zinc, silver plates and the blotting paper. there was a positive and a negative side just like a regular battery.
yes because there is an exchange between the positive and negative plates were the solution will be highly concentrated with negative irons
It acts as a medium to keep the positive and negative plates of the battery separate, but also allows electrons to flow freely.
Lead is used for batteries. In a car battery there are a series of plates that are coated with a lead oxide paste. Alternating plates are then given a positive charge. This turns the lead oxide into lead dioxide, giving the battery two dissimilar metals needed to make voltage when they are immersed in an electrolyte. This electrolyte in car batteries is sulfuric acid, H2SO4. When the battery is fully charged the chemical balance is H2SO4, and every positive plate is PbO2, while the negative plates are just Pb. When the battery is used the electrolyte generates electricity by trying to balance the two lead plates so that they become neutral. The sulfuric acid will form with both of the lead plates to form lead sulfate, PbSO4 and the oxygen in the positive plates combines with the hydrogen of the sulfuric acid, to form water, H20. During charging the water is split into hydrogen and oxygen. The positive plates collect the oxygen and the hydrogen is given off as gas and once again the battery is fully charged because the lead plates have opposite charges.
The negative battery lead cable is to be connected to the negative lead terminal on the battery.
