When I do check water in a battery, I am more concerned if the water level is the same in each cell. If the level is the same, I may add water to it, but if one cell is low and the others aren't, you may as well junk the battery. And if you have two batteries, replace them both at the same time.

I found some distilled water and filled the cells using a turkey baster so that I would not have an overfill situation. The baster was had a graduated fill tube and each cell seemed to take the same amount of water. I still have to make sure the batteries are charged and then check them out. I forget the current brand of the batteries. Since this battery had fillable cells, it wouldn't be a gel type battery would it. I checked again when I filled the water and there was definitely an initial stamped in the horizontal black plate that I could see. Hmmm. Mystery.
