The acid used is generally Sulphuric Acid. You cannot change it to another type of acid such as "Citric" Yes you can change it, but why do you want to? I WOULD NOT recommended it for anyone not trained how to do it.

In any case if the acid is depleted the battery will most likely be useless too.

Perhaps you should check the specific gravity and add DISTILLED water as necessary, about 5mm above the plates should be OK.
