Sulfuric acid is used because it combines with water to produce electrolytes. Inside a car battery, these electrolytes cover the battery plates, and are used to power the crankshaft when the car and engine is first started, so that the crankshaft can start to turn and the process of supplying fuel & air to the engine can begin. Hope that helps.

Is sulfuric acid the same as battery 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.
