Bob F Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 By the way, your votes (answers) will be anonymous, so if you don't know the answer just have a guess. The range of answers will help me decide what the next question will be. And the number of votes will help me decide if it's worth continuing the theme. cheers BF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob F Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 The voting was: 62% answered Sulphuric Acid. 32% answered All of the above. The correct answer in Sulphuric acid. A mixture of 64% Water and 36% Sulfuric Acid make up Battery Electrolyte. The water needs to be de-ionized to prevent contamination of the battery plates. Do not use ordinary tap water to top up your battery. If you have ever noticed holes in your clothes after messing around with a car or boat battery you now know why. It's the acid from the Electroyte that eats away your clothes if you spill any. So, congratulations to those that answered correctly. Next question to follow.
