Battery Acid, the electrolyte in all lead / acid cell batteries, is sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) at a concentration of between 15% and 35%.  At this concentration sulfuric acid is very dangerous and will react with almost everything especially organic material including human flesh. Battery acid must be neutralized before it is disposed of and battery acid, although very dangerous, can be safely neutralized yielding harmless salts. The pH neutralization of sulfuric acid or any concentrated acid is a hazardous task, however, the risks can be controlled.  The heat liberated from the neutralization of sulfuric acid (battery acid) is very high and can result in a temperature rise of over 100⁰C (212⁰F). In the lab we have measured temperatures as high as 250⁰F.
