Electrolyte takes part in the charge-discharge reaction, this Lead-acid battery has one major advantage over other chemistries: It is relatively simple to determine the state of charge by merely measuring the specific gravity of the electrolyte; the specific gravity falls as the Lead-acid battery discharges.

Capacity of a lead–acid Lead-acid battery is not a fixed quantity but varies according to how quickly it is discharged.

Lead and lead dioxide, the active materials on the Lead-acid battery's plates, react with sulfuric acid in the electrolyte to form lead sulfate.

Sulfation can be avoided if the Lead-acid battery is fully recharged immediately after a discharge cycle.

However, the dissolved material is then no longer available to participate in the normal charge-discharge cycle, so a Lead-acid battery temporarily revived with EDTA will have a reduced life expectancy.
