In this battery the ex-citing fluid is diluted sulphuric acid, and the chemical actionconsists in the decomposition of water, hydrogen appearingat the platinum, which is the electro-negative elementwithin the battery, and in the formation of the sulphate ofzinc, which is dissolved in the diluted acid.
