The present invention relates to the field of lead batteries.More particularly, the present invention relates to the use, in the preparation of a lead battery electrode formulation, of a liquid composition, stable over time, comprising from 0.2% to 10% by weight, preferably from 0.2% to 5% by weight, of carbon-based nanofillers, at least one water-soluble polymer and at least one cationic component chosen from alkali metal or alkaline earth metal cations and ammonium ions dispersed in a liquid medium.Another subject-matter of the invention is a lead battery electrode obtained by using the said composition.
