Asian Batteries Pvt Ltd is Nepal's one and only Lead Acid Battery Manufacturing company which is

located at Tinpaini , Biratnagar. It is manufactured by using the International Automated Manufacturing

process, with the capacity to produce high quality Tubular Lead Acid Batteries at about 500 units per
day.

Production Of lead battery

 The cathode and anode plates are prepared and their casting is done.
 The main component used in the lead-acid battery is lead, so it is first melted under
safety conditions and is converted into desired shaping.
 The anode is lead frame containing spongy lead and cathode is a lead frame containing
lead oxide and is connected with each other.
 Pb3O4 (red oxide) is made for positive electrode whereas PbO 2 (grey) is made for negative
electrode.
 The cathode and anodes are assembled inside of a hard plastic casing and conc. H2SO4 is
added later.
 The plate separator and wires are also assembled together in the battery.
 After assembling the components the battery is sealed and is charged in series with other
batteries.
 During the charging of the batteries, the energy is supplied from external source, so
energy is stored in between the two plates which act as a capacitor.
 The reaction takes place in cathode and anode.
 The reaction occurred are:

Reaction during charging process:

PbSO4 Pb++ + SO4—
At cathode (reduction):
Pb++ + 2e- Pb

At anode (oxidation):
Pb++ + 2H2O PbO2 + 4H+

\
 Finally the battries are packed and supplied to demanded places.

Results and discussion:

The main component in making the lead acid batteries i.e lead can be recycled to about 99%
purity from a scrap battery. So, with the proper implementation in the Research sector and with
proper utilities, we can recycle it to produce new products.
