I found this site and if you have any questions about batteries I think you will find the answers here.http://www.mpoweruk.com/glossary.htm#V

Thanks for the battery link.  I have one question and could not find the answer there, the base material for the + and - plates are a lead grid,  does anyone know what the paste filler is for each plate?  Saw this once years ago and now can not find it.

nothing to lose:
Lead oxides.  :)
I will have to find an old file, I have, or had, all that info.

Larsanderss:
When working in the battery factory (1980s) both plates were made from a lead grid. Both were, in different ways, "coated" with lead oxide wich later by pushing electricity through them was converted to metallic lead (in a spongeish shape) on the negative plate and lead dioxide on the positive one. Experiments were made using the red oxide (mönja, Pb3O4) on the positive but i do not know about the results.

Texas Al:
But lead oxide is a powder or a brittle crystal, isn't it? So didn't the manufacturing method involve mixing it with some kind of binder at some point?
