The invention relates to a release agent for lead-acid battery cast-welding and a preparation method thereof. The release agent mainly comprises 2% of hexavalent chromium extracted by an alkaline solution, 10% of polybrominated biphenyl, 10% of monobromobiphenyl, 10% of dibromobiphenyl, 10% of tribromodiphenyl ether, 5% of a resin having high heat resistance, 4% of methanol, 2% of a surfactant, 1% of glycerol and 46% of a solvent. The preparation method comprises the following steps of heating glycerol and the surfactant to a temperature of 80 to 100 DEG C, adding methanol into the heated glycerol and the surfactant, stirring for 1 hour, adding hexavalent chromium extracted by an alkaline solution, polybrominated biphenyl, monobromobiphenyl, dibromobiphenyl, tribromodiphenyl ether, the resin having high heat resistance and the solvent into the mixture, and stirring for 1 hour. The release agent can effectively improve welding effects, realize fast release after cast-welding, improve surface finish of a bus-bar, prolong a service life of a storage battery, prevent that lead residues and other attachments adhere to the interior of a released mold, avoid mold cleaning after casting and be prepared simply and easily, has no peculiar smell and no harmful substances, and is safe and environmentally friendly.
