The lead–acid battery came to the world 10 years too early because, at first, it had to be charged with Bunsen and Daniell cells. At the Breguet Company in 1873, Planté met the Belgian engineer Zénobe Théophile Gramme (1826–1901) who built direct-current generators (1869–71) that were based on Pacinotti''s ring armature (1860). Planté recognized that his own …

Pure lead is too soft to use as a grid material so in general the lead is hardened by the addition of 4 – 6% antimony. However, during the operation of the battery the antinomy dissolves and migrates to the anode where it alters the cell voltage. This means that the water consumption in the cell increases and frequent maintenance is necessary. There are two possible solutions to …
