ok so my POS R got a flat battery today , i had to walk to my sister's house for 1/2 hour

so yeah i just wondering if you guys can tell me which hole do i have to open to fill the distilled water ??

thanks

 

On the last battery i did that to it was that entire row of little caps you see. You have to top them off then recharge the battery.

 

I thought all newer batteries were self contained - no more need to add water...?

 

well the battery is off 97 JDM R , so yeah 7 years old already

thanks for the info guys

hrm.. My USDM 97 batt is maintenance free.

That's not very *JDM* like for their battery to be behind the curve.. or is it just the fact we are lazy

Fill all holes to the same level. Look on the side of the battery, there should be a level indicator mark. Keep sparks away.

Your battery lasted seven years?!? Wow, that's impressive.

My old Benz = three years to the day. Never more. Accord was about three and a half per battery. Had my Hype R 2.5 years, and didn't have to change it.

 

hmm, mine is running on 4 strong, and after i was pumping a lot of bass out of it...

 

i have had a toyota supra last 9 years without replacing a battery. i also have owned a toyota celica for 7 years without replacing the battery. also a honda accord that was over 200+K miles and never replaced the battery. all the cars have sold with the OE battery. i dont understand how people keep replacing their batteries? i live in cali so maybe all the HW driving?? i dont understand..maybe just lucky....

 

the factory honda battery in my CRX lasted 9 years

it went flat , i didnt recharge it but instead i bought a brand new battery

 

Car batteries can last a very long time if they are kept fully charged all the time...

 

yeah.. it's the 6 little screws that are in a line that you must fill distilled water into.
Do not over-fill..

And.. NO. that battery does not look like it's maintenance-free.
Have fun.
