Should I add water to the batteries?

How can I tell which batteries are "sealed" and which batteries should have water added?

  • If the cell caps come off with a twist and pull of your fingers then you should lift the caps and check the water level.

    Use distilled only. Fully charge first. Fill to 1/4" to 1/8" below the split ring that extends down into the cell. Just touching is absolute max.

    If you are using a screwdriver or other tool to open the battery it is sealed. Leave it alone.
    Picture of the top would help or at least a better description of the brand and model.
