caustic acid, flammable gas. Um -er - thinks you've got yer answer.
But - dispose of properly.
I've heard tell of folks using an expired battery to "extract" the lead for other uses- weights, pouring jigs, weighting a wake boat.
Any input? Safe approaches to "harvest" ?
Just curious - I've got a couple dead batteries I was thinnin' to try "recycling".
Just remember "always add acid" rather than add water to strong acid. Unless you're after a fireworks display!
(glasses are your friend!)
