Would you happen to know if the Duracells are any good? I know they are good with regular ol AA and AAA and smaller sizes but I didn't know till this weekend that they actually make batteries that large. I've never seen one anyway. Hopefully they last as long as the other ones did. I'm not sure if I have to put water in these ones or not. I'll have to read the battery. The other ones I had were maintenance free, which was nice for someone like myself that has never had to put water in a battery. Good luck at the battery shop!
Yes, they need water, occasionally. Fill only to the bottom of the hole or over the plates.
Do yourself and your batteries a favor and buy a good hydrometer. A hydrometer measures specific gravity of the fluid (electrolyte) in your battery and will be the most accurate indicator of battery health. The best hydrometer is made by Frease Glass Works but other hydrometers which have a glass tube and glass float may approach good accuracy.
