Check water levels and top up appropriately every 10 or so charges for the first few years. If it is a reconditioned battery you may need to do this every 5 charges.
If the battery needs to be toped up, only do a sufficient amount to cover the plastic element protector by roughly ¼ of an inch. The additional space is needed for expansion while gassing at the end of the charge.
Before charging it.
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.
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.
If your battery is not a sealed unit you add pure distilled water.
No, you should only add distilled water to an auto battery.
Add distilled water before for you charge it. Do not use tap water.

You should unscrew the caps on the battery top surface, use a flash light and make sure the water level at all cells are 1/2 inche above the electrodes plates heights/ repeat every 6 month or any time the car is servicex at a garage/
If you're talking about a car battery...maybe. If it is a maintenance-free battery than there is usually no way to add water to it. If it is not maintenance-free than it will usually have a way to add water, but the only type of water that should be added is pure, demineralized water.
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.
No, you should not use rainwater. Use only distilled water.
