The acid in those batteries has impregnated itself into the lead. Not only that the melting of it releases the acid into the air. It is like Russian roulette, there is a high chance it will release sulfur dioxide, coupled with the acid. When it hits anything with water it turns back to the acid state. kiss your eyes good bye, if you breathe it, it will be among the last breaths you take it will eat your lungs up. The chemicals released are the same as the pour and run method of making meth. Many have lost their lives, or eyes that way.

It is not worth it. Take the batteries to a recycle center. As big, and heavy as they are you should get a good amount for them. Use the money to buy some wheel weights.
