Battery Maintenace on A 2007 Gulistream Cruiser

[leeper]

Must be battery question day with these posts. I have 2 batteries for starting and 2 for the house in 2 compartments. The stating batteries have 7 in. above while the house batteries have 6 in.. Lots of side room. I can not get a filler bottle in there and don't want to have the water lines. I now use a baster to add water, which is hit a miss on how much water is in there. Found a 1L bottle half the size of the others. It is in England if I want to order it. How do you guys fill your batteries with water and get it right?

Any kind of a plastic squeeze bottle (ketchup, etc.) WITH about 12 inches of clear plastic tubing added to the nozzle.

Longer or shorter tubing for your situation. Tubing available at any hardware store. Take bottle along to get right size that will fit tight.

The bottles that they ship acid in for new batteries works perfectly and often has the tubing included.

My batteries are in the open, so I don't need a mirror, but I use an ear syringe to fill them. Holds about 2 ounces.

I use a mirror to check battery level. If battery needs water I use the mirror and a Battery Filler Rubber Bulb. The tube end is smaller than a baster and is flexible.

I use a 3 oz Dixie cup and a mechanics mirror. It has a flexible head and telescoping stem. Use a flashlight and the mirror to see in there then add water slowly and keep checking so as to not go above the split ring.
