By using a positive electrode current collector containing a carbonaceous material at least on a surface thereof, it is possible to provide a positive electrode for a lead storage battery that can berecharged even after being discharged sufficiently and stopped for a long time, while still using an inexpensive material. In addition, in the positive electrode for a lead storage battery according to the present invention, a positive electrode active material layer containing a lead oxide is preferably formed on the surface of the positive electrode current collector.
