the melted ice wont be distilled, and it probably wont be pure enough.

Frozen water will still have impurities in it bud and batteries need very pure water. Boiled water will have less impurities as when the water is heated and some evaporates it can take some of the impurities with it. But dont use frozen water bud, as people have said just buy de-ionised water it costs little and it's the stuff for the job.
