The interaction between the electrolyte and lead inside the battery causes a chemical reaction which, in turn, produces electrical energy. Generator batteries can be flooded plate types, gel cell types or absorbed glass matt batteries.

Flooded type generator batteries are the most common type. Usually, the cells are not sealed so the user can refill the electrolyte fluid in this type of battery. The electrolyte can be replenished by pouring it into small
