13. Study and follow all of the battery manufacturer's
specific precautions, such as removing or not removing
cell caps while charging, whether equalization is
acceptable for your battery, and recommended rates of
charge.
14. For flooded non-sealed batteries, add distilled water in
each cell until battery acid reaches the level specified by
the battery manufacturer. This helps to purge excessive
gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery without
removable cell caps, carefully follow manufacturer's
instructions.
