Hope it's ok to put this in this forum but . . .
I have spilled some acid/distilled water out of the side of two car batteries (well one is actually a leisure battery), one of them spilled in my van, i have rinsed the affected area and both batteries and wiped them down. We use the batteries for a small car stereo based soundsystem and 12v lights. They fell out of the wheelbarrow we were using to transport them back from the party in the woods (yes . . . it was a good weekend )
Questions are:
Can i just fill the batteries up with distilled water and carry on using them? or do they need a mix of sulphuric acid and water?
How badly will the acid affect the (already pretty rusty old transit) van?
Any help muchos gracias, especially re: refilling and reusing, transit is going to rot with or without the acid to help.
