Car should be OFF. If it CAN be refilled you would remove the caps located on top of the battery. Carefully add distilled water until water level is full but not overflowing. Replace caps. Wipe off any spilled water. Do NOT get any water from battery on your clothes, skin or eyes. Do NOT smoke while refilling your battery - it could explode!
