How much acid should be above the plates on a lead acid battery? Thanks for any input Stew

The CORRECT LEVEL is that which is low enough to prevent purging at max charging and temperature. It is pre-determined by the manufacturer according to cell dimension and plate percentage fill. Start with a level 1/8" above the plates then check it again after max charge rate charging. If it did not rise a lot add a bit more water. Simple enough.
My original post still stands
Really doesn't matter as long as its above. But why not play it safer,.. keep the level 1/8" below the slots at the top ? But be sure the batt is fully charged before you do that.
