All batteries contain metals of some sort or other. Metals conduct electricity and form the electrodes.
The electrolyte consists of dangerous and corrosive chemicals, so the containers surrounding the battery will be made of resistant materials, such as rubber, plastic, glass etc.
Most disposable or rechargeable batteries in common use, have a metal jackets around them, but this is insulated from the internal workings by plastic, cardboard or paper insulators.

What metal should not be used to make a battery?

Metal isn't used at all, Automotive Batteries are made of plastic with lead plates, if it were just metal it wouldn't leas as the battery works off of electrolysis is the case was made of metal if would be corroded and eventually leak out all the acid. so to answer you question... NONE only lead for the internal plates, Stainless may potentially be used but lead is a cheaper and more common material in batteries
