7 WATERING
IMPORTANT: Water quality is important to maintain the life of your Trojan battery and HydroLink
Watering System. Flooded/wet batteries need to be watered periodically. The frequency depends
upon battery usage and operating temperatures. Check new batteries every few weeks to
determine the watering frequency for your application. It is normal for batteries to need more
watering as they age.
î Fully charge the batteries prior to adding water. Electrolyte levels drop during discharge and rise during
charge. In addition, charging generates heat, fluid expansion and explosive gases.
WARNING! - WATERING A BATTERY BEFORE CHARGE (OR WITH A LOW CHARGE
LEVEL) CAN LEAD TO BOIL OVER RESULTING IN POTENTIAL BODILY INJURY AND
POTENTIAL DAMAGE TO THE WATERING SYSTEM, BATTERY AND VEHICLE.
î Use only distilled or deionized water. Tap water can contain contaminants that will damage the battery.
Also, be aware that water can pick up impurities from containers, piping, and fixtures. Table 4 in the Trojan
Battery User’s Guide, available at trojanbattery.com/pdf/TrojanBattery_UsersGuide.pdf contains the limits for
impurities to avoid damaging batteries.
