Ideally it should be 36% but that is still enough to burn like crazy. I'm sure everyone knows the way to neutralize acid is regular baking soda. But if not there is your tip for the day. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ron Yearns To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, November 30, 2007 8:07 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Checking water levels in batteries
Does anyone know what concentration of sulfuric acid is in a fully charged battery? I anin't sticking my finger down in acid. Do the soda straw and blow in it.

The most common solution seems to be to use a tube and lower it into the fill spout and either blow in the tube, or squeeze a bulb on the tube. When you hear bubbles, you are at the surface of the liquid. So you just need to cut the tube to the proper length, or mark it. Thus, you are measuring from the top down, rather than the bottom up. Hope that helps. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.
