No, if you have to add fluid to a battery you just add Distilled Water and nothing else. The Electrolyte in a battery is 65% distilled water and 35% sulfuric acid.

When battery contain acid then why you put water in the battery?
The acid in automotive batteries is a sulfuric acid/water solution known commercially as "battery acid". There is about 29 t0 32% sulfuric acid in the solution, the rest is water. The purpose of the water is to allow the solution to conduct electricity by chemical conversion in the cell. As the battery is used the water can evaporate or escape raising the concentration o acid. When this happens the efficiency of the battery is reduced. More water must be added to bring the solution back to the proper ratio of acid and water.
