Adding Water
Fill to:
1/4" (+/-) from the bottom of the filler neck throat. (
See cell drawing below)
A flashlight will make adding
water much easier. Putting a full level mark on the hydrometers rubber tube will be helpful too.
A certain amount of fluid loss is normal in all batteries, and must be replaced at regular intervals with distilled or
deionized water. Over-filling is one of the most common errors made during battery maintenance and will cause
gradual lowering of the specific gravity and a subsequent loss of capacity, corrosion to the tray and the intercell
connectors. Add water
after
the battery has finished charging and
after
taking hydrometer readings. If the battery
is subjected to freezing temperatures it is a good idea to add water when the battery is reaching appx. 75% charged
or 1 hour before ending an equalize charge. It can take up to several days for the newly added water to mix with
the rest of the acid, this water could freeze before mixing with the electrolyte.
General Maintenance

Do Not Overfill.

they may contain small amounts of nickel,
iron, manganese, copper, chlorine, nitrates, etc. These and other minerals can seriously affect
