Fluid goes under the bladder. The bladder is there to isolate the fluid from air, since it's air that causes degradation in the fluid. Also, make sure just what type of fluid the manual calls for, since some systems use mineral oil-based fluids (brake fluid is glycol based). Also, the fluid type may be called out on the reservoir cap itself.

"It should have been distilled water and sulfuric acid. You use electrolyte fluid for metal plating"
Actually Jason, battery acid IS an electrolyte. As for the original question, I assume you used the electrolyte that was supplied with the battery. If you still have the instructions that come with the battery, you might note that they say to fill to the "Low" mark, then charge the battery for the specified time. After this is complete, the cells can be topped-off to the "Full" mark.
Keep in mind that as lead-acid batteries are being charged, they emit hydrogen and oxygen gas. Since the bubbles can and do get trapped in the glass separating mats, the fluid level goes up during charging, then will drop back down once the bubbles escape.
For future reference, one of the latest additions to our sport is the "AGM" (Absorbed Glass Mat) battery. There's no loose electrolyte sloshing around inside, which means that they don't care what position they're mounted in. Also, they're completely sealed. Since most small batteries don't last more than two to three years, it's something to keep in mind for next time. Nathan
