Correct answer
Through electrochemical reactions involving the plates and electrolyte.
It converts stored chemical energy into electrical energy through electrochemical reactions involving the plates and electrolyte. A lead-acid battery uses lead and lead-dioxide plates and an electrolyte of sulfuric acid and water. Electricity is not produced by the isolated reaction of a single liquid or invented materials such as “posilyte” or “neutrolyte”. The alternator is a separate device that helps recharge it when applicable.
