I have a sealed battery that is 3 years old. It lost its charge. I pried open the top plate which covers the cells (with a screwdriver) and squirted water into the cells. I then glued back the top plate.
The battery works fine now.
Anybody tried an easier way - like drilling a 1/4" or 3/8" hole into the top plate into each of the cells- filling them with water, then sealing the holes with clay or polyethylene plugs?
