Charlie,

That's one reason I bought that battery-filler jug at NAPA. It stops the flow before it can go over the limit. It’s such a pain to try to check the levels as it is. And I don’t know what I’d do to remove extra fluid. Probably make a speed trip to Wally World for a cheap baster.

I wondered what the use of having a battery case is, if it's got screw holes drilled through the bottom....

And has ANYONE ever located a battery case with a vent hose on it? People looked at me like I had three eyes when I tried to duplicate the one that I had in my Monty for the second battery. I just wanted one like the one I had so I could join the two hoses and more-than-adequately vent any gases.

As it is, I ended up with a regular case, screwed into the bottom of the compartment.

But now I'm gonna check to see there has been no erosion at those screws...Just in case!

Steve
