When looking for information on acid for batteries, it is important to remember that Battery Acid is a dilute form of Sulphuric Acid and is widely used in industry, specifically in the automotive industry.
Acid for batteries is usually available in strengths from 1.25 SG to 1.28 SG depending on the type of battery for its intended use. SG stands for Specific Gravity which is the way in which the Battery Acid strength is measured. Acid for batteries is available in 1.26 SG which is the most widely used strength of Battery Acid in the automotive industry. Acid for batteries is also commonly found in 1.28 SG which is the strength most commonly used in heavy-duty industrial batteries such as those in fork lift trucks. This strength of acid for batteries isalso widely used in the batteries of golf carts and golf buggies.
The inventor of the lead-acid type battery was a French physicist named Gaston Plante. In 1860 he presented the world’s first lead-acid battery to the French Academy of Sciences and such was the importance of his contribution to industry that, following Plante's death in 1889, the Gaston Plante Medal was established. This is awarded periodically to scientists who make significant contributions towards the continued development of lead-acid battery technology.
Battery Acid is a highly Corrosive material and care should be taken when handling or working with acid for batteries. The fumes or vapours from Battery Acid are classified as Hazardous and can cause severe damage to the nasal passages and the respiratory tract. Acid for batteries should be handled in a well-ventilated area and when large quantities are involved, should be handled under fume extraction. Battery Acid can cause severe damage to eyes and skin and appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) should always be worn when using the product. Further details of Battery Acid hazards and Battery Acid safety can be found on the relevant pages of this website.
If you require acid for batteries and require further information, it is advisable to seek a Quality Assured supplier of acid for batteries. The Quality Management System to which they adhere might be the highly regarded ISO 9001:2000 and this will be your guarantee that you are buying Battery Acid from a reputable supplier. Another consideration might be purchasing acid for batteries from an environmentally approved company adhering to the requirements of an Environmental Standard such as ISO 14000. This will mean that they are working in the best possible manner to protect the environment, an important consideration in these times of heightened awareness and 'green' credentials.
Strict legislation governs Battery Acid packaging, Battery Acid labelling and transporting Battery Acid and it is illegal to transport Battery Acid by regular postal services. A courier with trained ADR drivers must be used for transporting Battery Acid and further information on this subject can be found on the relevant web pages. Acid for batteries is classified as a Hazardous Substance for transportation purposes and must be packed in accordance with current legislation. Labelling requirements for Battery Acid are set down in ‘The Chemicals (Hazard Information and Packaging for Supply) Regulations 2009’ which are commonly referred to as the CHIP Regulations.
