I should have specified this in my original post but all of you who are commenting about regularly checking the water levels are very right.
However, our situation is somewhat different in that by company requirement all of battery powered equipment is supposed to have AGM sealed batteries so no need for a water check.
I was surprised to see regular batteries in this piece of equipment and still have not yet figured out where it came from. I think it was a transfer to us from a subcontractor.
On a side note - for those of you who are shocked at the cost of the AGM type batteries people are using for their RV systems we recently had a quote for a replacement AGM battery for our warehouse forklift( big 48V, 1100 AH battery).
Battery $27,600, Freight $750.00, Labor $3600.00, SS/EF $500.00 and 12 weeks leadtime to get it.
