A lead oxide battery plate is a component of lead-acid batteries, serving as the electrode where electrochemical reactions occur. These plates are typically made from lead oxide, which enhances their ability to store and release electrical energy during charging and discharging cycles. In a lead-acid battery, the positive plate is usually composed of a lead dioxide (PbO2) material, while the negative plate is made of sponge lead (Pb). The efficiency and performance of a battery largely depend on the quality and design of these plates.

As the battery charges, the negative plate changes to metallic lead, and the positive plate change to lead dioxide.

The substance that is reduced in a lead battery as it generates electric currents is lead dioxide. You can recharge the battery by reversing the direction the current is flowing.

lead(IV) oxide, lead, and sulfuric acid.
Lead dioxide on the positive electrode is reduced to lead sulfate during discharge in a lead-acid storage battery.
In a charged lead-acid battery, the negative plate consists primarily of spongy lead (Pb). During the charging process, lead sulfate (PbSO4) on the negative plate is converted back into lead and sulfate ions. This transformation allows the battery to store electrical energy effectively. The spongy structure of the lead enhances the surface area, facilitating better charge and discharge cycles.
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.

There must be a difference between the electrodes. If both are silver metal the voltage will be zero. I don't know if it works with silver like it does with lead, but oxidizing the metal of one electrode might make a workable battery (a silver/silver oxide battery like the lead/lead oxide of the lead acid battery).

A car battery is a rechargeable, or secondary, wet cell battery that contains lead, lead oxide, plates and an electrolyte solution that contains a mixture of water and acid.
