Best Answer

No; batteries that use "acetic acid" (Vinegar) have not been made in an extremely long time and modern batteries would more than likely have a bad reaction to its introduction. You should use Distilled Water only to top off a car battery, it is not suggested you add more acid to the battery as it works on a 'gravity' scale (requires a meter to get it right).
