Sulfuric acid for battery use

Post by papapro »

Recently I was looking for regulating pH in mashes etc and the advise was to use sulfuric acid as lowering pH.
I could not find the acid around here easily so advise was to use sulfuric acid for batter use.
I looked for MSDS data sheet and found the ingredience content.
Herev is MSDS:
Please do not use this product.

Noone recommended to toss a battery in a mash. This is a pdf about a battery, not about battery acid.

Der Wo: I said "Sulfuric acid for battery use"
Not FROM battery, I would never recommend to use acid FROM the lead battery.

I am sorry I just rushed with posting at that time I did a lot of reading of MSDS's about sulfuric acid must have slipped.
Yes you and Der Wo are right in the future I will be more careful.

I posted that in the other thread where he said the same thing, guess that he doesn't read all the threads that he cross posts in.

Whatever. I think the case is closed. Papapro did a mistake and he knows that now. No problem.
