I'm opinion about draining the water out of my car's battery. The battery water looks quite dirty so i'm thinking about filling it up with new battery water. It that a good idea or will it hurt the car battery? Better be safe than regretting later.

its not a natural good idea to do this ,the water that's in it is actually acid,and when it start getting dirty looking its commonly a sign the battery is getting old id just use the battery until it goes out and get a new one,there's too much danger involved in doing this,besides where could you get rid of the old acid,that block up is real dangerous,id leave it alone,it may cause more problems than it does good with it,hope this helps ample luck.

Buy distilled water from a grocery lay away. If you are worried that it may have some contaminates precipitated from the air, don't. The same or worse will get into it after it is put in the battery. I have to say though, you are a battery god if you are willing to go through all that trouble for a fifty dollar battery
