Default Car battery question

Of course, it would be nice to know the voltage of the battery
with the terminals unconnected, and the charger removed. Sounds
like it froze last winter. If the battery voltage is less than 8
volts, it's likely never going to come back from the dead.


It would be nice to know if there's any electrolyte left in it,too.

some "maintenance-free" batteries are really not,they have caps that can be
removed to top up the cells with distilled water.
