A. To determine whether or not you need to add water to the solution ... thus the statement "check the water".
You can check the water in most modern batteries... unless they specify; "maintenance-free".
Unless you're running gel cells or AGMs, you have wet-cell batteries as well.
well all of my batteries are SEALED silver-cadmium batteries---no vent caps .....

Take off the battery cables and clean the cable end, as well as the battery post. If you notice any cable making "crunching" noises, replace it. There is corrosion in the cable. Also check the ends for corosion. If any part of the cable has a bulge in it, that's probably corrosion as well.
Clean the connection at the starter from the batteries. Be sure to disconnect the negative side of the batteries or you will be in for a big surprise :wink:

Many battery manufacturers claim; sealed, no-maintenance batteries. However, on the majority of those you will find 2 vent manifolds beneath the label/sticker... which can be removed to allow the battery to be serviced ...
... why would a battery manufacturer want you to add water to a battery ?
