The Chemistry of Battery Leaks

The Chemistry of Battery Leaks

2017-07-17 by jw_dewdney@yahoo.com

Many seem under the impression that the battery leaks in a polysix, say, are a leaking ACID - which isn't true.. and I try to explain to people that they should use a mild acid to clean up and neutralize the spills... but this video explains it FAR better - and explains excellently exactly WHAT components are likely to be affected on your polysix. I think it's been a source of confusion for too long. Pay particular attention to the explanation of the elecrochemical series at around 11 minutes in - near the middle of the video!

cheers
