This lead-acid battery anode comprises a lattice of a lead alloy which does not include antimony, and an active material paste which is infused into the lattice. A tab part for electrically connecting to another anode is disposed on one end of the lattice. An alloy layer including antimony is disposed on a portion of a surface of the lattice. The alloy layer is covered by the active material paste and not exposed on the side of the end of the lattice on the opposite side from the one end thereof.
