Adding water to a Wet Cell Battery?
Things you should know:
1. The battery in question is for my riding lawnmower, but its not much different then a motorcycle battery… that’s why I’m asking this question in the motorcycle forum.
2. The battery is nearly dead. I have to put a battery charger on for 10-15 minutes to get it to turn over the engine.
3. I bought a new battery today and it works like a champ.
4. The old battery is not that old. About 6 yrs old.
5. It does not have fill caps but it does have two perforated plastic covers that I think I can wedge a flat-tip screwdriver (or two) into and force it open.
Now here is my questions:
A. Do you think my battery is low on electrolyte acid?
B. Is this kind of battery refillable?
C. If it is, should I use distilled water or de-ionized water?
D. Will I get a couple more years of reliable service out of this battery or should I just say forget it, and take the battery back to Sears for an $8 core refund?
You have what is called a “maintenance free” battery.
The sealing strip was never meant to be removed after it’s initial charge.
Since it’s sealed, there’s no way for the acid to escape, so it won’t need refilling.
6 years is twice the average battery life.
Forget about it.
Don’t throw it in the garbage. It’s illegal.
Battery’s should be recycled because of the short supply of lead.
Bring it to a recycling station, gas station, motorcycle shop, or auto parts dealer.
