Yes, a charged battery weighs slightly more than a discharged battery due to the additional mass of the stored electrical energy.

No, a fully charged battery does not weigh more than an empty battery. The weight of a battery remains the same regardless of its charge level.
Specific gravity of the electrolyte in the lead acid cell or battery (assuming that the battery is not of the sealed type) is often used as a measure of its STATE OF CHARGE. Sure we can do the same with a multimeter but the above method is more accurate.
The maximum amount of energy that a battery can hold before reaching its infinity charge limit is determined by its capacity, which is measured in watt-hours (Wh) or ampere-hours (Ah). Once a battery reaches its capacity limit, it cannot hold any more energy and is considered fully charged.
Positively charged objects have an excess of protons compared to electrons, while negatively charged objects have an excess of electrons compared to protons. These imbalances in charge cause positively charged objects to attract negatively charged objects and repel other positively charged objects, and vice versa for negatively charged objects.

Laptops that's battery is fully charged does not weigh any more or less than one that's battery is not fully charged. If there is a difference, it would be so small you would not be able to tell.
A discharged battery can freeze in winter because it has a lower electrolyte concentration, which raises its freezing point. When a battery is fully charged, the electrolyte is more concentrated, making it less susceptible to freezing. A discharged battery has a higher water content relative to the acid, leading to a higher risk of freezing temperatures. Additionally, cold temperatures can further reduce the battery's ability to generate power, exacerbating the issue.
The easiest way to do this is with an inexpensive voltmeter available from Radio Shack, Fry's, Amazon, etc. The no-load voltage is only a little different from fully charged to nearly discharged. Depending on the exact battery you are talking about, the fully charged voltage might be about 1.28 or 1.3 volts, with a nearly flat battery reading 1.20 volts. Check your batteries when full and when nearly discharged and you will see the range. A much more crude test is to place the battery in a single cell flashlight and observe the brightness and color of the light.
the more the battery is charged, the less water. dead battery is close to 100% water. charged battery is close to 90 - 100% sufuric acid
More than likely the battery is discharged. It can also be a defective starter. Fully charge the battery and see what you have.
Yes, it will take slightly longer to charge, but it will last a bit more once charged.
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.

It has to be 13 plus volts to keep the battery charged. The car requires a 12 volt battery to start and run this vehicle, so you need more then 12 volts to keep the battery charged.
Test the battery with a digital voltmeter. You should get a reading of 12.6 V if the battery is fully charged. If the battery is fully charged then you know the alternator is functioning properly and your problem is more than likely a defective starter.
