Not that there are that many batteries nowadays that one can refill as
needed, but isn't it very much a NO-NO to add electrolyte (acid) to a
battery that already has anything in it? Isn't that supposed to be VERY
DANGEROUS? Or am I misremembering something?
Anyone?
I know it's (relatively) safe to add water to the electrolyte.
