The acid will leak out making the battery less effective and causing everything around it to get eaten up.
Car battery acid consists of Hydrochloric acid and Sulphuric acid.
In a lemon battery, the acid in the lemon (citric acid) helps create an electrolyte solution when combined with metal electrodes. The acid allows for the flow of electrons between the electrodes, generating an electric current. Over time, the acid will get used up as the reaction continues, eventually leading to a decrease in the battery's power output.
you get drunk.
it's not acid... it is corrosion and oxidizers
Battery acid does not build up, there is a fixed amount. Provided the battery is kept topped up with pure (distilled) water to replace any lost gases during charging, it should last a few years. There should be no battery acid in the engine. The engine needs battery power only for starting.
It's gonna have a short.
Distilled water and sulfuric acid.
Buy a new battery: that's a bad sign. just keep running it
battery acid is a mixture of sulphuric acid and Lead sulphate. Because of the high lead content battery acid should be used for nothing else but that. Lead is a commulative poison (is retained by the body so it builds up) and should be handled only in controlled applications.
No, it is battery acid corrosion caused by leaking fumes. Clean it off with water and baking soda which will neutralize the acid.
It could explode.
