Lead Plates?

[Zaitsev]

I haven't seen anyone say they use lead plates, has anyone tried it? It seems like it would be a good material. I doesn't rust, it is corrosive resistant (They use it in batteries and that are soaked in sulfuric acid), and it is conductive. Why don't people use it?

I tried them several years ago. They don't work at all. Lead erodes off the Anode and shorts out the entire cell. I too thought it might work but does not.

what about lead oxide? If you use the stuff they use in lead acid batteries, wouldn't that work?
