It is acidic.
That 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.
Batteries are a mixture of different substances, but contain sulfuric acid, which is an acid.

Is an battery acid a base?
Is a bleach a base
Is a battery acid an acidic or an base?
It is acidic.
Is a battery a acid or a base?
A battery contains a mixture of around 35% Sulfuric acid and 65% Distilled Water.
Which is a stronger base battery acid or lye?
Lye (sodium hydroxide) is a stronger base than battery acid (sulfuric acid) in terms of chemical strength and aggressiveness. Lye is highly caustic and can cause severe burns on contact with skin, while battery acid is corrosive but not as immediately damaging.
Is battery acid a base or acid?
Battery acid typically refers to sulfuric acid, which is a strong mineral acid and considered as 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.
Is battery acid a acid or base?
Battery acid is an acid. It is typically a dilute solution of sulfuric acid, which is a strong acid.
Is a car battery a acid or a base?
Wet cell, containing a mixture of sulphuric acid and distilled water.
Is a car battery a acid or base?
Wet cell, containing a mixture of sulphuric acid and distilled water.
Why is battery acid more acidic then drain cleaner?
Battery acid (sulfuric acid) is more acidic than drain cleaner (usually sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide) because sulfuric acid has a lower pH value (more H+ ions) compared to the alkaline drain cleaners. This difference in acidity is due to the chemical properties and composition of the acids.
What is used in car batteries?
Well, it is elementS....and the battery is a lead-acid base battery....and the battery uses Water (H2O) sulfate (SO4)
Out of ammonia battery acid isopropyl alcohol and water which has a higher pH?
Ammonia has a higher pH compared to battery acid, isopropyl alcohol, and water. Ammonia is a base with a pH usually above 11, while battery acid, isopropyl alcohol, and water are either neutral or acidic in nature.
