1. A lead-acid battery comprising: a container storing a plurality of electrodes and an electrolyte solution; anda lid member fixed to an upper portion of the container, whereinthe lid member includes: a lid plate configured to seal an opening of the container;a cylindrical exhaust sleeve formed in the lid plate in a penetrating manner and configured to discharge a gas generated in the container therethrough; anda recessed portion disposed adjacently to the exhaust sleeve and formed on an inner surface of the lid plate in an outwardly recessed manner, andthe exhaust sleeve has a communication hole which communicates with the inside of the recessed portion and the inside of the exhaust sleeve. 2. The lead-acid battery according to claim 1, wherein the exhaust sleeve has a projecting portion which projects toward the inside of the exhaust sleeve. 3. The lead-acid battery according to claim 2, wherein a wall portion of the exhaust sleeve having the communication hole extends downward toward the inside of the container from a lower surface of the projecting portion. 4. The lead-acid battery according to claim 3, wherein the wall portion having the communication hole is disposed more on a proximal part than on a projecting end of the projecting portion. 5. The lead-acid battery according to claim 1, wherein on an opposedly-facing wall portion of the exhaust sleeve which opposedly faces the wall portion having the communication hole, the projecting portion is formed at a position above the communication hole. 6. The lead-acid battery according to claim 1, wherein a return flow passage which allows a solution droplet to return to the inside of the container is formed on an upper surface of the lid plate, andthe recessed portion is formed at a position which is other than a position where the return flow passage is formed as viewed in an axial direction of the exhaust sleeve. 7. The lead-acid battery according to claim 1, wherein an inner surface of the lid plate has a first surface region and a second surface region disposed adjacently to the first surface region at a position disposed adjacently to the exhaust sleeve, and the first surface region is recessed outward with respect to the second surface region thus forming the recessed portion. 8. The lead-acid battery according to claim 7, wherein the communication hole formed in the exhaust sleeve is a slit extending to the first surface region. 9. The lead-acid battery according to claim 1, wherein the communication hole formed in the exhaust sleeve extends into a cavity defined by the recessed portion.
