Johnny is no more,
What Johnny thought was H2O,
was H2SO4 !
or
Johnny was a chemist,

(H2O = water, H2SO4 = Sulfuric acid)
Charging a flat car battery
Sulfuric acid is used as the electrolyte in car batteries. The danger of charging a flat car battery too fast is that hydrogen gas is also produced. Electrical sparks have caused car batteries that have been charged too fast to explode with dangerous results. I know of one person who was permanently blinded by an exploding battery. That's why they it's best to slowly charge a flat battery over night!
