In a car battery, the terminals are the heavy lead posts sticking up from the top of the battery, one labeled positive and one negative. Car batteries are of the lead-acid design, in which the anode (positive side) and cathode (negative side) are made of lead and lead dioxide, and as current leaves the battery through the anode both electrodes (anode and cathode) are chemically converted to lead sulphate. Cars use an alternator to send some of the current from the battery back to the anode, which partially converts the lead sulphate back into lead and lead dioxide, thus greatly lengthening the life of the battery.
