| Experienced Member | Forget that lame "tons of AA batts inside a lantern battery hack". Look what you can do with a car battery! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_8n2Qgguto

| Experienced Member | Haha! That's pretty well done. I guess the guy got tired of all those other battery videos. Love the sarcasm/humor.

| Moderator | A car battery is made up of Grids comprised of Lead. on those lead grids are special chemicals that the Battery makers keep secret, but composing of it is MUD! Mud mixed with the "special chemical" that is mixed up and is set on the grids, that then gets your car going. Car batteries sometimes can be up to 300aH I have seen somewhere. The "acid" is 1 part sulphuric acid and 2 parts water. ![]()

| Experienced Member | Its not too secret, its just a simple redox reaction, and the special chemical isn't what gets your car going, its just the salt bridge that lets the redox reaction occur, the starter motor is what gets your car going (reaction is Pb(s) + PbO[sub][/sub]2 + 2 H[sup]+1[/sup] + 2 HSO[sub]4[/sub][sup]-1[/sup] ---> 2 PbSO[sub]4[/sub] + 2 H[sub]2[/sub]O) Edit whoops, that does not work on this forum: Pb(s) + PbO2 + 2 H+1 + 2 HSO4-1 ===> 2 PbSO4 + 2 H2O

| Experienced Member | You'd have to be pretty clueless to think this was real, the warning it only for legal reasons in case some moron tries to sue because they burnt their face off opening up a car battery. |
