The acid won't fizzzzzzz on its own... the baking soda will react with the acid and it will fizzzzzz as it's neutralizing.

Didn't you mix baking soda, vinegar and red food coloring and make a "volcano" as a kid in school?!

thats a myth. the way older batteries were built had an issue with this but none of the recent batteries produced will it cause the battery to lose charge any faster no matter where you put it.
