Over the life of the battery, a considerable amount of water is
consumed. It is important that the water used be pure and
free of contaminants that could reduce the life of the battery
by reducing the chemical reaction. The water must be dis-
tilled or purified by an efficient filtration system. Even if the
water is colorless, odorless, tasteless and fit for drinking, the
water should be analyzed to see that it does not exceed the
impurity levels specified in the table.
An Automatic Watering Gun or a Battery Watering Jug; avail-
able from many auto parts stores; may be used to fill the bat-
teries, these watering devices are accurate, easy to use and
allow for rapid filling. They also maintain the correct electro-
lyte level within the battery cells.

The watering device should only be used if the electrolyte level is less than 1/2" (13 mm) above top of plates...
The electrolyte in a storage battery is an acid solution which can cause severe burns to the skin
and eyes. Treat all electrolyte spills to the body and eyes with extended flushing with clear water.
Contact a physician immediately.
Any electrolyte spills should be neutralized with a solution of 2 teaspoons (10
ml) sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) dissolved in 1 quart (1 liter) of water and
flushed with water.
Always wear a safety shield or approved safety goggles when adding water or
charging batteries.
