The invention discloses a method for leaching a positive pole material of a waste nickel-metal hydride battery. The method comprises the steps of putting the positive pole material which is separated from the waste nickel-metal hydride battery and is subjected to roasting pretreatment into a vessel which is resistant to pressure and the corrosion of sulfuric acid, pumping sulfuric acid into the vessel, then, sealing the vessel, pumping a (NH4)2SO3 solution into the vessel by using an injection pump, then, closing a (NH4)2SO3 solution pumping valve, and leaching.
