The invention provides surface drying equipment for lead acid battery plate production, and relates to the field of battery production equipment. The surface drying equipment for lead acid battery plate production comprises a drying box body; the front surface of the drying box body is movably connected with a box door through a hinge; the top of the drying box body communicates with a fan box; the end, far from the drying box body, of the fan box communicates with a connecting pipe; and the top of the connecting pipe communicates with a heater. The surface drying equipment for lead acid battery plate production achieves a better effect during airing of battery plates through arrangement of a heater at the top of the drying box, and achieves an excellent effect of sending heat, dissipatedby the heater, into the drying box through the effects of a motor and fan blades arranged in the fan box, so that the battery plates are conveniently dried, and the problem of weak drying effect of the plates during manufacturing of the battery plates is solved.
