Whilst not wanting to downplay the dangers of battery acid, you boys really do need to get a grip. I've no doubt it does a lot of damage to eyes and the like, and certainly buggers up your soft furnishings. Rubber gloves, old clothes and eye protection is all a very good idea.
But a little on your hands simply stings a bit, no huge deal so long as you wash it off fairly soon.
Father would generally put 2 layers of knackered batteries in the bottom of the transit (which by the way was always re sprung with custom springs), before filling the van with non ferrous on a trip to the scrap man at Sandycroft. It was not unusual to find battery acid dripping from the door upon arrival. This would make the mud in the yard bubble. They were then chucked into a skip to fester in their own juices. Valuable things knackered batteries. Usually after about 2 years use the van made a 1 way trip to the yard.
