I empty the acid out first through the top holes then cut along the very top edges with a cutting wheel, never had a problem with electricity or sparks. A few of my friends had those older Acid Filled DELCO Reproduction batteries that went capute on them and I tell them don't toss it I'll take it LOL in the end they make a very nice looking topper IMO.
Side terminal battery I just Velcro the top on to a modern battery. Top post batteries takes a little more time as you have to cut those poles away first and free up the plastic around them using a small dremel bit to dig around the edges of the poles.
Keep in mind the batteries were DEAD before I started. Maybe after you empty the Acid it will loose it's Power or actually use the battery some how to kill the power ?
