No..... the charge is weightless. the weight shall be same irrespective of whether it is charged or not not charged.

Yes. When the battery is charging, hydrogen gas is released (because we cant make perfect battery's). Hydrogen is not put back into the battery when depleted. This is very minor but has been chemically proven.

There is a separation of charges when you charge the battery.
No mass is added to the battery.
No mass is removed from the battery.

yes but only slightly, because the specific gravity of the electrolyte has changed. when it is charged the electrolye gives up hydrogen and becomes heavier. it would take more than a bathroom scale to detect this, but a simple hydrometer available at any auto parts store will measure the specific gravity(weight) of the electrolyte.

Very slightly. The difference is way too small to be measured. Since energy, according to Einstein, has a little bit of mass equal to the amount of energy divided by the speed of light squared.
That's a lot of dividing :-).

From a practical standpoint, no.
In theory, E=mc² means that the chemical potential energy has an effective mass. In practice, it cannot be measured.
