I'd try Tractor Supply or some farm outlet place in your area. I would think you can get a maintenance free one but can't say for sure. Maybe someone else has been there...done that. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,740 Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) | | Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,740 | If your cell caps are leaking, the battery is either overfilled or overcharged. There should be an air gap at the top of the cell to allow for expansion, but if too much water is added, the cell will overflow. The other cause of overflow is too high a charge voltage, causing the acid to boil over. On a 6 volt, the terminal voltage on a fully charged battery with the engine running at a fast idle shouldn't be above 7.5 volts.
