Putting new acid in it will gain you nothing. If it does anything - it will shorten the life of the battery - if it has any left.
When new - the conventional flooded lead-acid battery has an approx. mix of 35% sulfuric acid and the rest water. Usually, the acid does not disappear - but depending on the state of charge - it can stay in suspension in the liquid, or cling to the lead plates as sulfur.
When the battery won't hold a charge, the sulfur stays on the plates - i.e. the battery is sulphated. Sometimes some overvolting-overcharging can bring it back - but quite often - it is simply no good any more.
By draining the liquid out of your battery, and putting in a fresh batch of new electrolyte - you'll be screwing up the PH balance that is suppoosed to be there.
