Lead is cheap and does not corrode like other metals in the presence of battery acid. It is also soft enough to conform tightly around the battery post and conducts electricity very well.

The actual bolts and nuts themselves are not lead, being too soft a material for the torque needed to secure the cable connector terminals to the battery's posts.
