## In current practice, there is a steady tendency for the increase of production of sealed lead/acid batteries using lead-calcium alloys. The mastering of these alloys is, however, difficult due to debilitating phenomena taking place, the main of which is the instability of alloy composition in t

✦ Synopsis
The electrochemical properties of lead-strontium alloys have been investigated by using a dynamic potential technique and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that the alloys appear more resistant to corrosion than traditional lead-antimony alloys or modern lead-calcium alloys. Perhaps, there is relatively perfect phase-structure in the lead-oxide layer on the alloy surface that is responsible for this corrosion-resistant behaviour.
