Battery Inspections/Maintenance
Check Battery Fluid (Flooded Batteries)
Gel batteries are maintenance-free batteries. They do not have fill wells. On flooded batter-
ies, check the fluid level often. Add only distilled water. Tap water contains minerals that are
harmful to a battery.
NOTICE: Never charge batteries if plates are exposed above the water level.
Unless the plates are exposed before charging, distilled water should be added to a battery
after charging. If the plates are exposed, add just enough water to cover the plates. Fully
charge the batteries, then recheck the fluid level.
