Most will recommend a 1/3 acid to 2/3 distilled water mix. I have went %50 %50 on older batteries without issue and they lasted another 3yrs. Hope this helps.
The ratio of electrolyte to pure water in a discharged lead-acid battery typically ranges from 1:1 to 1:3, depending on the specific design and state of the battery. In a fully charged state, the electrolyte consists of a sulfuric acid solution, but as the battery discharges, the concentration of acid decreases, diluting it with water. Therefore, the ratio varies as the battery cycles through charging and discharging.
The ratio of acid to water in a battery is typically around 1:3, meaning there is one part acid to three parts water. This mixture helps to create the electrolyte solution that allows the battery to function properly.
The optimal battery electrolyte mixing ratio for maximum efficiency and performance is typically around a 1:1 ratio of acid to water. This balance helps to ensure proper conductivity and chemical reactions within the battery, leading to improved overall performance.

Battery acid, also known as sulfuric acid, is a compound. It is a chemical substance composed of sulfur, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms chemically bonded together in a specific ratio.
I would guess if a battery has a water to acid ratio high enough to freeze that it would not hold a charge well. Be sure the case did not crack.
Generally, yes, they are the same. The term "lead storage battery" is a bit incorrect, but it conveys the idea that the battery in question is a lead-acid storage battery. These storage batteries are the ones we commonly find in vehicles. With sulfuric acid and water in the electrolyte, and lead and lead dioxide for electrodes, this battery, while having a low energy-to-weight ratio, can deliver some very high surge current, which is what the doctor ordered to start said vehicles.
Vehicular Battery Off-gassesYes, when a lead-acid battery is either charged or discharged it emits gasses [vapors]. Although there could be others, the primary gas is Hydrogen [H2], and sometimes Hydrogen Sulphide [H2S].If and when mixed in the proper ratio with the air, both of these gasses are highly explosive!!!!!
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.
The capacity rating factor in a battery refers to the ratio of the actual capacity of the battery, measured in amp-hours (Ah) or watt-hours (Wh), to its nominal capacity. This factor accounts for various conditions that can affect performance, such as temperature, discharge rate, and age. A higher capacity rating factor indicates better efficiency and reliability under specified conditions, making it crucial for evaluating battery performance in real-world applications.
I had the same problem with my 2000 eclipse gt. You are probably still running the factory battery and after time, the battery losses its cold crank amps. It still holds a good charge, hence the reason all of your electronics work well, but the battery does not have enough amps to turn the engine over. Simply replace the battery and you'll be starting everytime. After changing the battery, I suggest starting the car and letting it idle for fifteen minutes to allow the computer to "re-learn" its proper air:fuel ratio.
