I bought a battery on the internet and i bought sulferic acid (battery acid) to fill it with. The acid is corrosive but it was in a plastic container. Will it remove marks and oil spots on concrete? Just want to see if anyone has used it to do this before i try anything, thanks!

Motorcycle batterys are different from cars. No distilled water, you need DILUTED sulferic acid

No. It will stain and discolor the concrete. Go to an auto parts store and by Purple power! Get a stiff concrete brush that can be used with your hand or the end of a broom stick. Pour the purple power on full strength. Allow a few minutes to soak in. Then scrub the crap out of it and then rinse.
You can also use Kitty Litter. When your spread the kitty litter around stand on the kitty litter and do the twist on it till you've done this all over the stain. It will really get the kitty litter to crush and scrub the oil stain as it absorbs it. Then just sweep up. Either of these methods works well. One is a wet method. The other a dry method. You chose which one would suite you.
Don't use the battery acid. Under the right conditions battery acid can produce hydrogen gas. Yes the stuff that blew up the Hindenburg.

I'm not trying to cause any trouble but:
1) You should never need to buy acid for a car battery. It is for commercial and professional use only.
2) ARE YOU NUTS? It's sulfuric acid! Very dangerous stuff. Your question is like" Can I use gas to wash my clothes?" You will, and I mean WILL cause yourself and your property harm if you use it for anything. If you need to ask the question, you are not qualified to use it for anything.
For your concrete: get some good old TSP (tri-sodium phosphate). It's safe and it works pretty well.

It will clean anything, but its not a good thing to do, buy purple stuff from kragens and it will do the same thing, H2SO4 is very dangerous stuff do not pollute the ground or sewer with it
