1. CARIBIK Says: I am storing over 100 used car batteries in a 20 feet aluminum container. In case there is an accidental spill, would the acid be able to dissolve the aluminum floor? If yes, what material could I use to cover the floor in order to avoid damages to the container?
2. Groundskeeper Willy Says: storing that many batteries I would recommend a poly liner before putting the batteries in on pallets.

a leaky battery can corrode or dissolve aluminum. That many batteries may require an EPA inspection.

3. Scott Says: It will stain and pit the aluminum surface.

Cover the floor with plywood.
