Is there any reason why I shouldn't use the water resistant variety of MDF, suitably painted, to build some battery boxes to be located inside hecabin and engine bay?

Not that hot on chemistry but isn't Sulphuric acid (battery acid) a strong dehydrating agent which will react with wood? I know it's used in the wood pulping industry. Maybe battery acid's dilute enough for this not to be a problem. Any chemists out there?...
