    Get a charge out of this nifty battery water filler.

    The placement of batteries in some motorhomes can make them difficult to service. I found an easy, fool-proof tool that works for any battery, regardless of location.

    Purchase a one-gallon or smaller garden pump sprayer. Remove the wand attachment, leaving the hose and trigger assembly. Add distilled water to the sprayer’s tank, pump a few times to add air pressure and squirt the water into each battery cell with no mess or overfill.

      Possibly even better, saw off part of the wand for a bit of “reach.”

      How does this filler prevent an overfill?

      Always wear safety glass to protect your eye from splatter.

      Don’t pump too much, or the spray could splash back some acid from the battery on you!!
