The electrolyte in a car battery is not salts...sulfuric acid at about 30% concentration in distilled water. Adding anything but water is risky, as water is what is lost from it (evaporated). The main problem with batteries is the sulfate buildup on the battery grids. there are some chargers which apparently can bring them around (maybe a small improvement) but it is hit or miss. good luck.
