Lead and Lead compounds used in Lead-Acid batteries are poorly soluble in water, Lead can be dissolved in an acidic or
alkaline environment only.
10. Stability and Reactivity (Electrolyte – diluted sulphuric acid, 30 - 38,5 %)
Corrosive, non-flammable liquid
Thermal decomposition at 338° C.
Destroys organic materials such as cardboard, wood, textiles.
Reacts with metals, producing hydrogen
Vigorous reactions on contact with sodium hydroxide and alkalis.
