Drain (the solid type with the aluminum turnings removed) is lye, or Sodium hydroxide.  This is a very strong and caustic base.

Lead-Acid storage batteries contain Sulfuric acid.  This is a very strong mineral acid.

Be very cautious with these chemicals.  These are not toys.  Either can "burn a hole" or remove patches of skin.  When mixed directly together, the reaction is so vigorous that the solution will often boil due to the heat generated.  Wear protective clothing and goggles.

I suggest starting with very small scale experiments in an area which is easy to clean.  Keep appropriate first aid close.
