Unless it's a sealed battery, it's possible.

But you shouldn't. it's distilled water you should use if and when it's needed.

Your car battery is a "lead-acid" battery. I'm not sure where you might haveheard about Epsom salt, but that's an easy and effective way to completelyruin the battery for good. If the battery is not sealed and you have accessto the cells, then when a cell gets low ... meaning the tops of the plates aresticking out above the surface of the liquid ... then you add distilled waterONLY to bring it up just over the top of the plates, and nothing else.
