The answer is yes and the results are messy and potentially toxic and corrosive. The only time you add water to a lead acid battery is when it is fully charged. The reason for this is when a battery is fully charged the plates are thicker and the there is less space between them. The electrolyte level is at its highest.

A lead acid battery consists of several major components, including the positive electrode, negative electrode, sulphuric acid, separators, and tubular bags.
If a lead acid battery runs out of water, meaning the electrolyte has fully dried up or the battery has been tilted or stored upside down causing the electrolyte to spill, this is the main concern.
A lead acid battery is a type of rechargeable battery that has positive and negative plates fully immersed in electrolyte, which is dilute sulphuric acid.
Myth: The worst thing you can do is overcharge a lead acid battery. Fact: The worst thing you can do is under-charge a lead acid battery. Regularly under-charging a battery will result in sulfation with permanent loss of capacity and plate corrosion rates upwards of 25x normal.
Myth: Lead acid batteries can have a memory effect so you should always discharge them completely before recharging. Fact: Lead acid battery design and chemistry does not support any type of memory effect.
Nowadays modern plastics are impervious to acid so there is no risk of this happening. Myth: It is okay to store lead acid batteries anywhere inside or outside. Fact: It is good to store lead acid batteries in cool places because the self-discharge is lower but be careful not to freeze the battery.
