I would take the autoparts guy's comment with a large grain of salt. I doubt that it's true that you won't be able to get a six volt battery. O'Reilly Autoparts shows lots of six and eight volt batteries in stock at the store in my area.

keep checking the carpet in that area for loose spots if you can pull it out definitely damaged. then i would be concerned about the metal underneath.

ive goten acid on my jeans a few times and the damage wasnt obvious right away showed up after a washing or two.

6 volt battery's will probably be around for a long time as long as there is a demand for them. Yes they will go up in price due to the demand slowing down but will still be there. As for the acid and the carpet good chance you will not have that carpet long depending on what it is made of

Yes many auto parts stores do not have them in store but if you want one you can have one the next day. Now if you stop at a tractor dealer they stand a fair chance of having them

If I understand correctly, you had a new battery tip over and spill acid on your carpet. Couldn't you just add new acid?

When I carry a battery in a car, I put it in a 5 gallon bucket, then put the bucket behind the front seat on the floor so if I stop real fast, it won't tip over.

When I get just a drop of acid if my pants, it makes a hole. Sorry about your carpet.
