Battery accident!!
I bought a battery last summer, Group 27 deep cycle. I just found out that it tipped over and spilled the electrolyte. Most of the acid is gone. I have no idea of the state of the left over acid, e...

The sulfur is on the plates. The different materials of the plates, the sulfur deposition on the plates, and the water, when fed a small electrical current, form an exothermic chemical reaction, adding sulfur to H2O resulting in H2SO4 (sulfuric acid) and PbO2.
I think you are having a problem with the quantity of the acid being different with the quantity of non-acidic water added back into the battery case, not the basic chemistry. As you can see in the prior link I posted, the electrolyte is not 100% sulfuric acid. It is actually dilute acid.
