What gas do you get from batteries?
Hydrogen is released during charging of a lead acid battery.
What hazardous gas will emit by lead-acid battery?
Hydrogen is released while charging.
What causes a battery to wear out?
A car battery is made of three components, lead, sulfuric acid and water, over time the acid erodes the lead and the lead is the main charging part of a battery that is why vehicle batteries are called lead-acid
What does acid have to do with a wet cell battery?
The sulfuric acid in an automotive battery (the most common form of wet cell), is an electrolyte. As the battery discharges, the sulfuric acid reacts with the lead and lead oxide plates to form lead sulfate. When the battery is charging, the reaction is reversed.
What is Lead-Acid?
It is the type of battery that most cars use. A storage battery in which the electrodes are grids of lead containing lead oxides that change in composition during charging and discharging, and the electrolyte is dilute sulfuric acid.

Can you smoke around a disconnected battery?
It's not healthy, but yeah. The trouble with a charging battery is hydrogen buildup from lead-acid (car) batteries.
For maximum battery life should you wait for a lead acid battery to be depleted before recharging ie electric bike?
No. Lead Acid batteries should be kept at full charge for best battery life. Constant partial charging is best.
Why should'nt any open flames be allowed when charging a battery?
A lead acid car battery releases hydrogen gas as it is charged. Hydrogen is highly flammable.
What is the difference between a lead-acid accumulator and a lead-acid battery?
There is no difference between lead acid accumulator and lead acid battery.
Type of battery reverse polarisation during charging?
The positive electrode in a lead acid battery is lead plate coated with lead dioxide. The negative electrode is a special porous lead sheet or plate, both separated by an insulating permeable barrier. The electrolyte is sulphuric acid. Charging is the process of reversing the process that happened during discharge or use of the battery. At the negative terminal the lead sulphate converts to lead. At the positive terminal lead changes to lead oxide. Hydrogen ions, water and sulphate radicals combine to form sulphuric acid. In the next stage during charging the current electrolyzes water in the electrolyte, producing hydrogen and oxygen in a process known as gassing at which stage, charging current should reduce to a trickle or stop.
Can you explain the working of lead acid battery?
