Lead acid batteries are commonly used in vehicles and have plates made of lead and lead dioxide that are submerged in a dilute sulfuric acid electrolyte. Nickel cadmium batteries have plates made of nickel oxide and metallic cadmium separated by an alkaline electrolyte and are often used as backup power sources. Both lead acid and nickel cadmium batteries store energy through reversible chemical reactions.
