battery filling level
What are the consequences of overfilling a battery with distilled water? A little past the bottom of the filler tube?

Real good chance of water boiling out and all over top of battery.
Water expands when heated.....batteries get hot when charging.
Use an eye dropper, baster, straw with finger over top etc. to lower water level.
Should be 1/8" below vent tube IF battery has been fully charged.
IF going to charge battery..water level should just cover any exposed plates and then properly topped off after fully charged
