Battery Acid: The Complete Guide to Sulphuric Acid in Batteries
Battery acid is dilute sulphuric acid (H₂SO₄). In every lead-acid battery, concentrated sulphuric acid is diluted with demineralised water to typically 27–39% by weight — a specific gravity between 1.200 and 1.300 depending on the battery type. It is a strong acid: at these strengths the pH sits below 1. And it is not merely … Read more
