Till you learn your batteries and assuming you have a good 3-stage charger/converter every month... If you have a magnetek 6300 Every day.
The level when filled and charged should be about 1/8 to 1/4 inch below teh bottom of the filler tube, DO NOT fill to the top and do not allow the plates to be exposed..

This leaves enough space for the battery to "Breathe" .
