Caution: Batteries are moredangerous than they Look!
Fill battery before charging, This is not critical but is accepted practice. CAUTION: Filling a battery improperly or overfilling can cause acid leakage, Explosion hazards and other stupid stuff!
Tag on battery cable states, "important! Only add water to battery after full charge has been maintained"
Before charging it.
Add distilled water before for you charge it. Do not use tap water.
Always water your battery after the cool down period. The best practice for conventional forklift batteries are - 8 WORKING HOURS, 8 HOURS OF CHARGE, & 8 HOURS COOL DOWN. Water the batter prior to use; if required.

In normal battery operation, only water is evaporated usually and leaves the acid. So normally you just add water to the battery to the proper level. However having said that, a charging system that operates at over 14.5 volts will BOIL out acid and water. The proper charging voltage seems to be 14.2 volts. Voltages less than that leave a battery undercharged and more than that overcharged, and the chance to evaporate battery solution. If you are continually having to add water, then this may be the case. To answer your question on the mixing, you can add water and then acid or vice versa in the battery. The battery activity will mix the two chemicals together in normal operation. Usually all you ever have to do is add a small amount of water maybe once a year or less.
If you can see the plates in the battery add distilled water to top it off.
Add Distilled water to the battery and then charge it fully with a battery charger. Do not add tap water.
Use distilled water. If the battery is a sealed battery you cannot add any water.
Add nothing but distilled water to a battery.
No, never add regular drinking water to a battery. Only add Distilled Water.
On most modern sealed batteries you do not have to add water. On batteries that are not sealed you should check the battery monthly. If you have to add water only add distilled water and never tap water.
Shouldn't have to add anything unless the charging system is overcharging the battery. Some batteries are sealed and you can't add if you wanted to. If you think that the battery acid level is lower than it should be have the system tested for problems.
