Thread: Dry Battery Cells

Trolling battery had 2 dry cells. It would charge, but would drop to 70% the next day. Would you add acid/distilled water or replace? Out of warranty, but less than 2 tears old.

I would replace, if that's not feasable then add distilled water or rain water. Need to check water level every time you charge.

just add water it should be OK. i have don it manny a time and used water from fauset. most battery are sealed. i was told by a old man that rebuilt bateries year ago that the lectrolite onley needed to be put in one time .

I would jsut add water. I check(add if it needs it) water after every trip and I get avg of 4 years out of my trolling battery's

Use distilled water only to fill it up and recharge , should be ok, if you want to use electrolite, you can get it at Lowes by the box, but don't remember how much it was..

Just add distilled water & recharge & it will be fine.
