Because they contain corrosive (acidic or alkaline) electrolytes. In the case of a simple carbon-zinc cell, the zinc container acquires its negative charge by dissolving into the electrolyte. Accordingly, the cell will eventually perforate, and allow the electrolyte to escape, and this can cause the battery compartment in the flashlight, or whatever, to corrode as well.
The acid typically found in a battery is sulfuric acid.
It is an Acid, and when concentrated, around 97%, as in batteries, has a pH under 1, (very strong) which can vary depening on the solution.As the name tells, it is an acid
Well, honey, technically speaking, sulfuric acid is the main component in most car batteries, so yeah, it's a big player in what you might call "battery acid." But if you're asking if they're exactly the same thing, well, not quite. Battery acid usually refers to a diluted form of sulfuric acid used in car batteries, so it's like saying a margarita is the same as straight tequila - similar, but not quite.
An acid, according to the Related Link on the bottom,it has a pH of 0 which is acidic
No, you should not substitute muriatic acid for battery acid. Battery acid is typically sulfuric acid, which has different properties and concentrations than muriatic acid. Substituting one for the other can damage the battery and may be dangerous.
A battery acid is a variety of acid used as an electrolyte in a battery - usually sulphuric acid.
Battery acid is made of sulfuric acid, a strong acid.
Car battery acid consists of Hydrochloric acid and Sulphuric acid.
The acid typically found in a battery is sulfuric acid.
Water is required in a lead acid battery.
They disappear because it is an equal quantity of acid and base.
There is no difference between lead acid accumulator and lead acid battery.
It is an Acid, and when concentrated, around 97%, as in batteries, has a pH under 1, (very strong) which can vary depening on the solution.As the name tells, it is an acid

It's an acid.
it is a battery made from from citric fruits and how it works is the citric acid is like the citric acid in a battery so technicley its a battery
