In the discharged state, both the positive and negative plates become (PbSO 4), and the loses much of its dissolved and becomes primarily water. Negative plate reaction Pb(s) + HSO 4(aq) → PbSO 4(s) + H (aq) + 2e The release of two conduction electrons gives the lead electrode a negative charge. As electrons accumulate, they create an electric field that attracts hydrogen ions and repels sulf.
