battery acid
Cell's corrosive liquid
Battery acid is sulfuric acid solution used in lead-acid batteries, the type found in most vehicles.
The term extends to anything comparably harsh or corrosive—bad coffee, cheap liquor, or caustic criticism: This coffee tastes like battery acid.
Contact with actual battery acid causes severe chemical burns.
