What acid does a car battery have?

A car battery contains a diluted solution of sulfuric acid (H2SO4). The concentration of the acid varies between 30% to 50% by weight, depending on the battery type and performance requirements. Sulfuric acid is crucial for generating electrochemical reactions within the battery cells, allowing the conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy and vice versa during charging and discharging cycles.
