Neutralize Battery Acid
I have a couple cups of battery acid left over after buying a battery for my lawnmower.
What's the best way to neutralize this stuff so I can pour it down the toilet?
Seems to me I used baking soda years ago but that made quite a bubbly mess.

It's sulphuric acid, and it will bubble when it touches something organic, or steel for that matter. Pouring it down the toilet would be a no no. Even if it cost you a couple of bucks, take it to Wal Mart or some other auto parts place and let them recycle it.

Why not just store it safely, in case you need some more later.
After reading this:
Concentrated sulfuric acid is frequently the major ingredient in acidic drain cleaners which are used to remove grease, hair, tissue paper, etc.
