I just got this question and wanted to share the joy with you.

I just read that the inside of a Duracell battery contains very concentrated Potassium Hydroxide.
Could I open a battery, dilute the contents and use it to make soap?

For future reference, batteries do not need to be purified to the same standards as skin safe products and you should not use battery components in your soap or toiletry making projects.
