All car batteries work with a weak acid in them. Many modern batteris are 'low maintenance', so they don't need looking at. Most older car batteries needed topping-up with pure water (not tap water) as evaporation occured.

Does water go in car batteries?
Automotive batteries generally have a liquid electrolyte in them. The electrolyte is usually a solution of sulfuric acid and water. Occasionally, under adverse conditions some of the water will evaporate. Some auto batteries have caps, plugs, or covers on the top of the battery allowing you to add water if the liquid level drops. However some [if not most today] auto batteries [sometimes called "Maintence Free"] do not have any way to access the cells to add water. There is also a new "dry cell" type of battery that does not have liquid in it.
