system. Water that is not distilled should be analyzed and, if required, filtration installed to permit the water to meet the
requirements of the water purity table.
Even if the water is colorless, odorless, tasteless and fit for drinking, the water should be analyzed to see that it does
not exceed the impurity levels specified in the table.
Automatic watering devices such as the one included in the Battery Maintenance Kit (P/N 25587-G01) can be used
with an approved water source. These watering devices are accurate, easy to use and allow for rapid filling. They also
maintain the correct electrolyte level within the battery cells. The watering device should only be used if the electrolyte
level is less than 1/2” (13 mm) above top of plates.
