many of the modern batteries are sealed and can not be filled. for those that can be filled it is very important the the plates are at least covered with some acid at the top of the cell. use ONLY distilled water not bottled water not fluoridated water. all of the impurities and mineral are removed. DO NOT overfill the battery stop at the bottom of the filler hole about 3/4 to 1 inch from top to allow for fluid expansion.. ***CAUTION it is always important to have the proper safety gear/equipment when servicing batteries such as a face shield acid resistant suit and acid resistant gloves. also beware of hydrogen gas buildup from acid conversion in the cells.*** in other words just get a new battery its safer..
