Battery acid is diluted sulfuric acid, H2SO4. It is diluted with de-ionized (DI) water. Concentrations range between 10% and 51% H2SO4 (so 90% and 49% DI water, respectively), but the average car battery contains around 35% H2SO4. For more info, here are some sites that I just came across: www.battery.co.za/download/dl/MSDS%2001.pdf http://www.ibsa.com/www_2001/content/products/msds/msds_acid_both.doc http://www.ibsa.com/www_2001/content/products/msds/msds.asp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead-acid_battery http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfuric_acid Or run a search for "battery acid" and "MSDS" (Material Safety Data Sheet). Note that MSDSs are created by individual companies and information can vary from one MSDS to another (they have a set list of required information to contain, but they can add any additional info as they see fit).
