Another Battery Question
If I fill a lead/acid battery with liquid hand sanitizer, would I then get clean power to my rv?
Asking for a friend.

It will be clean but watch how much you add. Beware of the electricity cops pulling you over to give it a breathalyzer test. You don't want it blowing over 0.8.

Hand sanitizer goes at the load-end to protect the device from the electrons after traveling through the cables. You put hand soap in the battery to clean the power.

Clean but not green unless you also add green coloring.
If going to the trouble why not be clean and green?

Use Green Gatorade, it has electrolytes, right ?
Or maybe Mellonballs, lot of alcohol in them.

If you use green slime, and seal the caps, you'll have AGM batteries.

Actually, at 0.8 it would probably be dead from alcohol poisoning. The legal limit is 0.08%
