go to a scrap yard check if the battery has above 10v in it with a volt meter
but be sure to ask if they will take it back if it doesnt work some scrap yards will check the battery is ok for you
Car or automotive battery acid is 30-50% sulfuric acid
A battery that is only at 50% is not a good battery unless it just needs charging.

A car battery should not be "cycled" as in fully discharged and then recharged. Such a cycling would quickly destroy this kind of battery. A car battery is discharged slightly when you start your car, then it is recharged again when you drive your car. Proper charging whilst running car engine is good for the battery. A normal car-battery (Lead-acid) can last for many years if not "cycled". Never discharge battery more than 50%. How often you actually need to recharge your battery depends on how it is used.

Yes as long as it is 12 volts.
A fully charged battery will read 12.6 volts. A battery reading 12.4 volts is 75% charged. 12.2 volts = 50% charge, 12.0 = 25% charge. You should use a battery charger to charge any battery reading less than 12.4 volts before installing it on the vehicle.
just pay 50 bucks to get a new one
The Chevy volt car is an electric car but not fully because the battery only goes for 25-50 miles per charge. After that, a gasoline engine starts and produces energy for the electric battery to run the car. Gas is only used after the battery is run down and can be charged again.
yes dumb@$$
If you can jump start the car then the battery is not fine. Remove the battery cables and thoroughly clean them. If it still will not start check the voltage at the battery with the engine off. You should get 12.6 volts if the battery is fully charged. 12.4 it is 75%, 12.2 it is 50%, and 12.0 it is 25% charged. I would bet your battery is defective.
