∙ 6y agoThat depends on the battery chemistry and is determined by the type of electrolyte used, which can be either an acid, a base, or a salt.
- original carbon-zinc batteries used an acid electrolyte, but modern "alkaline" carbon-zinc batteries use a base electrolyte. This change was made to reduce the chance of damaging equipment if the battery leaked.
- car batteries use sulfuric acid for their electrolyte.
- the molten salt batteries used to provide electricity in modern nuclear weapons use a salt electrolyte that is neither acid nor base.
- etc.

Why is battery acid more acidic then drain cleaner?
Drain cleaner is a base and its pH is around 14 while battery acid is an acid and has a pH somewhere under 5. As you would expect, an acid is far more acidic than a base, because a base is simply the opposite of an acid.

Are batteries a base or acid?
Battery chemistry can be either acid or base (alkaline). An alkaline battery is an example of the latter. Those are the critters that are stocked in just about every kind of store there is. Remote controls, flashlights, etc. use them. An automotive battery is generally a lead-acid battery, and that's an example of the former battery type.
