lead acid battery can make hydrogen gas (explosive) mostly only if it has an over load current or charging. Not to mention sulfuric acid could leak leak from the cells.

i was thinking something like silicone hose or teflon should be reisitanl enough to the acid. Most of the kits that ive seen use some sort of clear tube .
