Default Battery Acid? Sulfuric.

Any idea what the percent is of regular car battery acid?

35 per cent Sulfuric Acid, or there abouts, in a proper 12 volts car
battery. What are you going to do with it?

I suspect he needs a 10% solution for some photographic purpose
(pemanganate, dichromate, and copper sulfate bleach formulae all call
for X ml of sulfuric acid without calling out the strength, apparently
assuming we'll know what strength is "standard photographic" -- I've
wondered what %, molality, molarity, or normality I'd need 10 ml of).

The challenge to the photographer is to command the medium, to use
whatever current equipment and technology furthers his creative
objectives, without sacrificing the ability to make his own decisions.

I figured it was about that, the guy at the auto battery supply said it
was somewhat stronger than vinegar. I figured since glacial acetic
is around 28% that this must be around the same. I am going to use it
to process control E6,.....if my Ph meter its functional.

Hum? I think that means I want a 3 to 1 ratio to get a 1% solution.

Huh?? If you have 35%, you'd need to dilute it 1:34 to get a 1% solution.
