Bicarb soda and water mix together pour over acid it will fizz and stink keep going till stops fizzing you end up with water a salt and carbon dioxide, rinse with plenty of water.

White vinegar will neutralize battery acid also.

Only if it's an alkaline battery as vinegar is an acid.

Put some in your battery & see how long it takes to die....... I don't know why it works but it works.
