If you're interested in how things where done in and around submarine
storage batteries in the past, check out this short transcription from the
Storage Battery Manual (1920) that I just prepared, mostly due to your
interesting question, ref

http://traktoria.org/BATTERY/protective_coating_battery_room.htm

I have also scanned a chapter on Lead-Burning from the same manual, ref

http://traktoria.org/BATTERY/lead-burning.htm

must also take due note of some spectacular errors that have been made in
the past:

"Heavier than air flying machines are impossible", Lord Kelvin, President
of the Royal Society, 1885
