Adding pure sulfuric acid to a discharged lead-acid battery can damage the battery, as it can cause excessive concentration of acid, leading to corrosion and other issues. It is recommended to add distilled water to adjust the electrolyte level, not tap water, as tap water can contain minerals and impurities that can harm the battery's performance and lifespan.
