Best Answer

In traditional "lead-acid" batteries, the electrodes are lead and lead (IV) oxide. During discharge, both electrodes dissolve in the strong acid electrolyte to form dissolved lead (II) cations. During recharge, these reactions are reversed. Other battery types, with a longer rechargeable life are used for hybrid electric-gasoline cars.
