crack or cause the container to wear and leak acid.
Check the electrolyte solution to make sure the level is
above the plates. If the level is low (but above the plates
inside the battery), add water so the level is to the
bottom of the cap tubes. If the level is below the plates,
add water only until the plates are covered and then
charge the battery. After charging, fill the battery to the
proper level.
