Batteries should only be topped up with destilled or purified water, nothing else - so they say.
A few years ago somebody (who knows a lot about batteries) gave me the advice to use a mixture of 25% battery acid and 75% water (quality as above) for older batteries when they tend to gas more during charging.
Now, our inverter batteries have been in service for just under three years and I have seen battery liquid around some of the vent caps which I think is a sign of their imminent demise. :ermm:
Would it not make sense to replace some of the escaped acid with the above said mixture and thus maybe get some more months out of the (16) batteries? :bunny:
