    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus 0.03 sec.

battery acid

Sulphuric acid of approximately 70% concentration used in lead-acid cells (as found in car batteries).

The chemical reaction within the battery that is responsible for generating electricity also causes a change in the acid's composition. This can be detected as a change in its specific gravity: in a fully charged battery the acid's specific gravity is 1.270-1.290; in a half-charged battery it is 1.190-1.210; in a flat battery it is 1.110-1.130.
