Well I really hope you've had the appropriate training and have the proper equipment. I have but whilst 12.80 electrolyte is available I'm going nowhere near concentrated sulphuric acid!

 

Sound advice 

 

Back at the dawn of my career I once had to mix up some concentrated  sulphuric acid to replace acid lost when a telephone exchange flooded. Not an experience I enjoyed, the fumes coming off the acid when adding it to deionised water were visible, so you had to hold your breath. ?

 

That was about 1972, so predated modern H&S rules.

 

I also recall using concentrated hydrochloric acid and calcium carbinate to "regenerate" the Permutit water deioniser, which produced the battery topping up water. That was a nasty job too.

 

Still it concentrated my mind on getting promoted so someone else could do it, so not an entirely bad thing. ?
