    Lead-Acid storage battery is a secondary cell which can be recharged by passing current through it in the opposite direction.

    Following is the overall chemical reaction operative during discharging of lead-acid battery:

    Pb (s) + PbO2 (s) + 2H2SO4 (aq) → 2PbSO4 (s) + 2H2O (l)

    From above reaction, it can be seen that oxidation state of lead in PbO2 and PbSO4 is + 4 and + 2 respectively. Thus, upon discharging lead oxide is reduced to lead sulphate in lead-acid storage battery.
