Flooded Battery Fluid Check
On flooded batteries, check the fluid level often. Add only distilled water. Tap water contains
minerals that are harmful to a battery.
Accessory watering systems are available for 12-volt and 6-volt flooded batteries. See your
authorized GEM dealer for more information.
NOTICE: Never charge batteries if plates are exposed above the water level.
Unless the plates are exposed before charging, distilled water should be added to a battery
after charging. If the plates are exposed, add just enough water to cover the plates. Fully
charge the batteries, then recheck the fluid level.
Maintain the fluid level between the battery plates and the bottom of the fill well. Do not
overfill.
WARNING! The fluid in an overfilled battery may boil over and cause electrolyte to spill.
