SuzukiSavage.com - Adding battery water

Bear Junior Member Offline Electrical Engineer - Retired - Ridin' for 43 yrs Posts: 71 Central Washington State Gender:	Adding battery water 01/08/09 at 21:10:28 I took my battery out for the winter trickle charge last week. Looks like it could be topped off with water. Any suggestions on what to use to get little spritz of distilled water into those tiny battery holes? My significant other sugguested a baby snot sucker bulb. A 50cc syringe would be nice if anybody would sell me one. Must be a better way.

Re: Adding battery water Reply #4 - 01/08/09 at 22:13:03 I used a 3 CC syringe, till I got the Big Crank, now, No Mo Wattah! Kinda small, 3CCs, but the battery isnt too big. If it was a battery for a Biggo Car, then the thing holds a lot, but these? Naaaah,Just about Any syringe will do it.

odvelasc Ex Member	Re: Adding battery water Reply #6 - 01/09/09 at 03:46:23 great idea. Now how long do I charge my battery for? I have a battery booster and charger and I did not charge my batter last month as I did not winter prep it until the end of november.

Yonuh's idea is the ticket. I picked up a small plastic syringe from my vet. It's used for giving medication orally to small animals. Use distilled water that you can buy at the grocery store. To test the battery I picked up a small battery tester from Walmart that I found in the sporting goods department (boats). It indicates battery condition via led lights. Cheap and effective. I have a trickle charger that I put on the battery once a month for about 24 hours. Keeps it topped up just perfect.

Went to the local feed store and got a 35cc syringe and the biggest needle they had. Didn't use the needle, the snout on the syringe was long enough without it. Perfect size, worked great.
