All I said was a discharged battery is less acidic than charged battery. I don't know what you tried with your litmus paper but you can't argue with the laws of chemistry. When a battery discharges the hydrogen atoms fuse to the lead plates causing a less acidic solution. That is a fact whether you choose to believe it or not.

Anything else you get out of that your making up.
No one ever said you did, and nothing is being made up. It's all physics and chemical properties. The stronger the acid, the lower the ph number. That is basic chemistry. I took only two years of chemistry in college 20 years ago, so I do not remember everything about it. It is fascinating stuff though

Ever work on an acid etch line? I have. The semi conductor mfgs use the 12m stuff. We used sulfuric, acetic, nitric, hydrochloric, and hydroflouric acids. I never want to do that again. Those college jobs are not all fun and joy, but you do learn stuff.
