Battery acid has a Specific Gravity of about 1.3 (which means 1.3 times the weight
of an equal volume of water) So for those of you who are math challenged:
2HN (37 - 28) = 9 pounds of acid which would be 9 pints if the SG were 1.00, but
9 / 1.3 = 6.92 pints
I vaguely remember acid is also sold by the pound. BTW, this is US measure, not
Imperial or Metric.
