Ug - Don't overfill!
« on: July 24, 2007, 06:18:45 AM »
Ug - just a heads up to other newbies to not over fill your batteries.  I topped mine off yesterday with water and I over filled them.  Today, they've been leaking all over the place.  As they have heated up, the fluid expands and leaks out the vents.  I've been on watch with paper towels cleaning it up.  What a hassle.


Don't over fill!

My battery guy told me to fill the batteries up enough to just cover the plates. I have Trojon T-105's.

But NEVER let the water level get low enough to expose the plates.

They get embarrassed real easy . . .
