Check

1

Check fluid level of individual battery cells

 The battery cells are properly filled when the fluid level is at the max mark on the battery housing.
In batteries without markings on the battery housing or in those in which the fluid level is not visible from outside, the fluid should be level with the shackle (arrow).

2

Correct fluid level

 Use only distilled water for topping up.
Do not overfill batteries.
