It is lead. That is why such batteries are called lead-acid battery.
The chemical make up of the plates in a car battery changes dependant on the amount of charge in the battery.
Fully Charged is + plate = lead peroxide or PbO2, -plate = spongy lead or Pb
Discharge both the + plate and - plate are Lead Sulphate or PbSO4
Electrolyte is made of Sulphuric acid and distilled water. H2SO4

What element is very dense metal used in car batteries?
Lead.
Element used in car batteries?
Both plates are lead. Antimony is typically used to alloy with lead to make it structurally stronger.
Why lithium metal is used in batteries?
it allows the highest energy storage density of any material that can be used to make the plates of the battery from. this means small high power batteries.
What metal should not be used to make a battery?
Metal isn't used at all, Automotive Batteries are made of plastic with lead plates, if it were just metal it wouldn't leas as the battery works off of electrolysis is the case was made of metal if would be corroded and eventually leak out all the acid. so to answer you question... NONE only lead for the internal plates, Stainless may potentially be used but lead is a cheaper and more common material in batteries
What element is in low density metal used in batteries?
Lithium. Lithium has low density and is 3rd element in periodic table with mass of 6.941 g/mol. Lithium is used in different types of batteries, such as lithium-ion(Lion), Lithium-polymer(LiPo). Both are rechargeable.
What is metal element?
Metal is not an element. It is a term used to classify an element, but it is not an element.
Do batteries have copper in them?
Yes. but it isn't the only metal used for batteries.
Is lithium a living thing?
No, lithium is not a living thing. Lithium is an element, and since it is an element, it is not a living thing. Plus, lithium is an alkali metal that is used in Lithium Ion batteries. These batteries are known to have long-lasting charges and are therefore used in high-tech devices such as laptops and digital cameras.
Which element is used in batteries and used to treat depression?
Lithium
What metal is used for dry batteries?
Zink
Which element is low density and is used in batteries?
Lithium
Which element is used for batteries and bipolar disease?
Lithium
