The lead plates react with the sulfur in the electrolyte if the battery remain discharged for much time. This means the lead is not immediately usefull to you. The resultant contamination must be removed, ie the lead must be refined again. You can remove it by melting it and fluxing it but this is not a safe proceedure.
For the battery production, the lead ingot should be transported, melted, oxidized by Ball-mill or Baton pot method to produce leady oxide, which is a mixture of PbO and metallic lead. Then the leady oxide is used as raw materials in new battery production .
This paper aims to present an innovative method for the fire refining of lead, which enables the retention of tin contained in lead from recycled lead–acid batteries. The proposed method uses aluminium scrap to remove impurities from the lead, virtually leaving all of the tin in it.
Organic acid leaching followed by calcination process shows a facile and mild route in recovery of spent lead-acid battery with low-emission of hazardous gases, which are the most studied processes for the recovery of spent lead paste.
R Soc Open Sci. 2018 May; 5 (5): 171368. There is a growing need to develop novel processes to recover lead from end-of-life lead-acid batteries, due to increasing energy costs of pyrometallurgical lead recovery, the resulting CO 2 emissions and the catastrophic health implications of lead exposure from lead-to-air emissions.
For battery manufacturing, the lead ingot (metallic lead) is then oxidized by ball-milling or by atomizing molten lead in a stream of air. The product is typically a mixture of lead oxide and metallic lead which is known as leady oxide which is used as the precursor material for making anode and cathode paste in battery production.

Lithium-ion vs. Lead Acid Batteries | EnergySage
Capacity. A battery''s capacity measures how much energy can be stored (and eventually discharged) by the battery. While capacity numbers vary between battery models and manufacturers, lithium-ion battery technology has been well-proven to have a significantly higher energy density than lead acid batteries.
