Do you have battery problems/ constant dead batteries?

A good battery, kept in good condition will never give problems.
If you have constantly dead batteries, look for trickle current that is discharging the battery or a bad battery that simply will not hold a charge.
After about two years, you can expect the plates to disintegrate slowly.

i had extra battery acid that came with my battery. if it seems like its getting weaker, you can add that and also add some clean water.

If you dont have that, you can try adding just CLEAN water (not tap!) to each level of the battery until it gets up to the right level. then let it sit for a while, then charge it up overnight.

if the battery then works the next day, and keeps working for other starts, you have saved ur battery! if it doesn't, the plates no longer hold a charge and you need to get a new one.
