Battery water

How often do most of you really check the battery water level ?

    Open caps, look inside....except.

    I have done that for the last time on the coach batteries. They are coming out. I am cleaning all the******out, repainting the metal and.....

    I am stepping up to AGMs.

    Solar is next.
  • At least once a month. Would say depends on how heavy a load you put on your batts. Depends on how much charging they will need and water.
  • My latest batteries are 14 months old. I check them about every three months. I've only had to add a little water about two months ago.
  • I check mine about once a month and it works fine. Only have to add small amounts even then....
  • I bought this Pro-fill which makes it very easy to maintain. Now I do it once a month. It does not overfill and takes about 15 minutes from start to finish. I love it.
  • Every 4 to 6 weeks. It's much cheaper to check the batteries than it is to replace them.
  • Thanks,i check it ever couple months and when I return from a trip if it's going to be parked a while.
