Couple of questions and hope you can help

Battery Acid, does it freeze? i.e if a battery cracked and the cells
leaked in -25 is the acid frozen?

When the battery cracks do only the cells that are along the crack
drain?

A fully charged battery does not freeze in normal winter temperatures, but
the more discharged it is, the more the acid transforms to water, the more
easy it will freeze

If you didn't drop it on the hard, then yes. Fully charged batteries
will freeze at -52C, discharged one will at -20C.

Normally yes, but not necessarilly along an outside crack. Separations
between cells inside can also crack and one cell can empty into the next
one internally.
