telomerase Posted November 26, 2016 Posted November 26, 2016 I am visiting my parents for the holidays, and my dad and I just finished refilling the water in my car battery. I come to find out from my mother that what we thought was a gallon of 'water' is actually fertilizer dissolved in water. Did we just make a bomb? I feel like we're going to end up on the next episode of 1,000 ways to die. Maybe I should siphon this out I am also curious if the metals present within the fertilizer could react with the acid to form undesirable products and/or precipitates. She said she only used about a teaspoon of miracle grow per gallon, so it's not very concentrated. And we added a fairly small amount. Thanks!
John Cuthber Posted November 27, 2016 Posted November 27, 2016 The good news is that neither plants nor batteries like chlorides. You won't have done the battery any favours- but you probably won't have done any real damage, and you almost certainly haven't done anything dangerous. 1
