A section of a car battery is referred to as a lead-acid cell because it consists of lead dioxide (PbO2) as the positive plate and sponge lead (Pb) as the negative plate, immersed in a sulfuric acid (H2SO4) electrolyte. This chemical combination allows the cell to produce electrical energy through a reversible electrochemical reaction. When the battery discharges, lead and lead dioxide react with the sulfuric acid to generate electricity, and when it recharges, the process is reversed. The lead-acid cell design has been widely used in automotive batteries due to its cost-effectiveness and reliability.

What are types of secondary cells?

a cell is one element of a battery, now commonly referred to also as a battery. Technically, of all the common "batteries", only the car battery and the small 9 v one are properly called batteries,, because they are made up of a number of cells in series. All the rest (AAA, AA, B, C etc) are cells. This distinction has become unused, and they are all called batteries. A primary cell/battery is one that cannot be recharged. A secondary cell/battery is one that can be recharged.
