Owner’s Guide

A battery being charged will ’gas’ with most gassing occurring 

at the end of the charging cycle. This gas is hydrogen which is 
lighter than air. Water and sulphuric acid droplets will be car-
ried out of the battery vents by the hydrogen gas, however, 
this loss is minimum. If the electrolyte level is high, the elec-
trolyte will block the vent tube and the gas will push it out the 
vent tube and battery cap. The water will dry but the sulphuric 
acid will stay and damage the vehicle components and the 
storage facility floor. Sulphuric acid loss will weaken the 
amount of acid within the electrolyte and decrease the life of 
the battery.

Over the life of the battery, a large amount of water is used. 
The water used must be clean and without contamination. 
Water that is not clean decreases the life of the battery by 
reducing the chemical reaction. Use distilled water or filtered 
water only. Test water that is not distilled water and filter if 
needed. Refer to the water purity table for requirements.

Hand held watering devices available at an automotive parts 
store, or automatic watering devices like the one included in 
the E-Z-GO Battery Maintenance Kit (P/N 25587-G01) can be 
used with an approved water supply. These watering devices 
are accurate, easy to use and allow for fast fill. They also 
keep the correct electrolyte level within the battery cells.

The watering device must only be used if the electrolyte 

level is less than 1/2” (13 mm) above top of plates.
